L. Summary of my Activities and Future Plans
The onset of my academic research was focused around the issues of warfare
conditions, national security emergencies, rule of law and problems connected with
legal, social and political order. Hence the first several of my publications were around
issues of political and socio-legal order. I have gradually desired to unveil more about
politics and law, i.e., the political mechanisms of the legal field and the legal
mechanisms of the political field in various contexts. On the one hand, it was natural for
Page 46 of 40
me to explore these issues due to my joint Ph.d/Jd academic education and continuous
training in law, social sciences, and the humanities.
On the other hand it was clear to me that issues of legal and sociopolitical order are
significantly affected by the place of law in politics and the place of politics in law.
Hence, my publications have explored the sociopolitical and cultural sources of judicial
review and of legitimacy of supreme courts. While the literature has mainly focused on
institutional judicial legitimacy, I have mainly explicated the mythical sources of
judicial legitimacy and how they have interacted with other types of judicial legitimacy.
My research was pioneering in explicating how sociopolitical myths are shaping judicial
legitimacy in addition to and relative to diffuse and specific sources of judicial
legitimacy.
In the late 1990s I realized through conferences and debates with colleagues that non-
judicial legal institutions are important to our public life and yet have been neglected in
research. Accordingly I have published a series of studies regarding governmental
lawyers, the attorney general and the state comptroller in comparative law and
comparative politics and in Israel. This type of research has responded to and solved
important gaps and discrepancies in our understanding of law in public life.
Understanding of law and politics cannot be done without the sociopolitical and legal
analysis of state political power, socio-economic stratification, legal consciousness,
social mobilization, and cultures around human rights. Thus, since the late 1990s I have
published extensively on non-ruling communities and law while taking into account the
context of multiculturalism, liberalism and globalization. My studies have originally
explicated how non-ruling communities, i.e., minorities, may use or misuse state law
and communal law for their political strategies and struggles for social justice and
equality.
My studies have also elaborated an original theoretical approach on why and how to
construct group rights in democracies alongside liberalism and individual rights in ways
that empower non-ruling communities as agents for legal reforms, social justice and
equality. My research interest in understanding communities and human rights through
interactions with the nation-state has resulted inter alia in research of religion in
Page 47 of 40
modernity and law. Religion is deeply embedded in modernity and my research has
genuinely contributed to better understanding of the legal and sociopolitical boundaries
between and among religious communities, especially non liberal, and the nation-state
amid neo-liberal globalization.
The dilemma about the effects of globalization on state law and on the interactions
between state and communities has been another pillar in my research that points that
despite more facets of modern globalization, state law is still meaningfully constructing
our life. My research examines what does it means for human rights and social change.
Thus I have demonstrated that there is still a significant absence of international
language of human rights while state law is a limited agent of a social change. The
liberal project may offer only a partial response to these predicaments. Thus, my
research about lawyers in the public sphere argues that lawyers incline to be silent
regarding abuse of human rights. My study allows us to much better comprehending the
reasons why litigation is a relatively limited type of a collective action and why its
added value to social changes is problematic. In this context of my interest in law and
social change my studies have looked into lawyers both as economic entrepreneurs and
as political agents in various contexts.
Briefly stating - my research on politics of law and law of politics varies from
epistemology of asking questions about law, politics and society, through explicating
theoretically and empirically state law and communal law and sociopolitical and
constitutional struggles among and between them. My research has been comparative on
the one hand and applied to better comprehension of law, politics and society in Israel,
on the other hand. My explorations of law, politics, and society have included variety of
issues from national security and public policy, to political corruption, the rule of law,
globalization, state institutions, legal consciousness and legal cultures, supreme courts,
legal institutions, litigation and other types of collective action, socio-economic
stratification, social transformations, religion, social changes, political parties,
minorities, and communities.
My current book under work is a project designed to theoretically and empirically
answer a classic and yet a crucial and modern dilemma: why and how law could have
Page 48 of 40
been a component in political power and yet also a somewhat effective mechanism to
partially taming politics. The book project covers about ten various analytical
dimensions from courts to international organizations and will suggest a new theoretical
view on how to understand the place of law in political power.
As in my teaching so is in my research I am referring to my diverse training in different
methodologies and put it into use in my studies that have been characterized by
diversity of methodologies drilling into law, legal texts, and sociopolitical phenomena
responding to challenges in epistemologies of knowledge. Inter alia, my studies have
used quantitative data, surveys, interviews, archive sources, statistical methods of
analysis, historical documents, and qualitative social analysis of law. Largely, my body
of research and studies allows a rich, multidimensional, multifaceted and diverse
outlook into the mysteries of law, society and politics. This has been and continues to be
a dynamic narrative in all my studies and publications from the beginning of my career
as a very young assistant professor through my research before and after becoming a
full tenured professor.
