Security strategy, intelligence leadership and the institutions through which states interpret risk. A continuing oral-history project records the perspectives of senior Israeli intelligence and national-security leaders.
Recognition, non-recognition and the localisation of international memory norms, especially where historical memory intersects with diplomacy, security and state interests.
Digital campaigns, audience targeting and the ways states use communication to navigate geopolitical constraints and reach foreign publics.
Elite interviewing is central to my research method. I use oral history alongside archival sources to reconstruct perceptions, institutional dynamics and decision-making in international relations.
