Roman-Gabriel OlarAssistant Professor in Political Science
Welcome to my personal website!
I am an Assistant Professor in the School of Law and Government at Dublin City University. Previously, I was an Assistant Professor at Trinity College Dublin. I received my PhD in Government from the Department of Government at the University of Essex. My research on the legacy of democratic transitions on democratic attitudes has been funded by the United States Institute of Peace (USIP). I have also engaged in policy consultancy for the National Democratic Institute and USAID. My research focuses on the politics of authoritarian regimes, state repression, civil-military relations and democratization. My work has been published at Comparative Political Studies, The Review of International Organizations, Democratization, Research&Politics, Journal of Peace Research and Journal of Human Rights. I have also published several articles for a general audience on voter turnout in democracies, democracy during the pandemic, and human rights under military pandemic management.
