Research Interests:
- International Relations Theory
- Political Theory
- Israeli-Palestinian Politics
My primary research interests are in International Relations, international political theory, middle eastern politics, history and collective memory, and aesthetics.
I have two main research projects. The first uses Frankfurt School social theory and the history and philosophy of social science to interrogate the interactions between academic scholarship and public policy.
The second project explores Jewish/Zionist political and strategic thought in the decade between the Palestinian Revolt of 1936-39 and the founding of the State of Israel.
Dr. Daniel Levine studies international relations, political philosophy and theory, and Middle Eastern politics. His research agenda works along two distinct lines of thought. The first draws on Frankfurt School social theory and on the history and philosophy of social science to interrogate the interactions between academic scholarship and public policy: the responsibilities and obligations incumbent on scholars whose work intersects with war and deadly violence. The second focuses on fear: both the direct experience of it, and its “afterlife” — in history and public memory, in the workings of political institutions, and in policy discourses and doctrines.
