Roee Kibrik’s research focuses on the interconnectedness of theoretical knowledge and political action. He integrates insights from political theory, political psychology, language and history in order to expose the complex relations between theory and politics and describe different dynamics of mutual influence and change. At the Davis Institute, he focuses on developing the idea of destabilized concepts, and other states of concept, as an outcome of the interplay between experiences, political elite struggles, and public deliberation. Theoretical arguments are supported by research on the concept of sovereignty in the context of IsraeliPalestinian negotiations over Jerusalem. Dr. Kibrik also teaches the BA course: “World Order – Tracking the Idea and Politics of the Concept of Sovereignty,” at the International Relations Department of the Hebrew University and is a Neubauer Research Fellow at the Institute for National Security Studies, Tel-Aviv.
