Guy Ben-Porat

    Guy Ben-Porat zkoumá složité vztahy mezi globalizací a mírovými procesy a analyzuje, jak globální síly mohou podporovat nebo podkopávat snahy o ukončení dlouhodobých konfliktů. Jeho práce porovnává mírové snahy v různých regionech a osvětluje napětí mezi globálními liberálními tendencemi a místním populismem. Dále se zabývá dopadem ekonomických a demografických změn na sekularizaci a náboženskou autoritu v moderních společnostech. Jeho současný výzkum se soustředí na policejní praxi v multikulturních státech a na vztahy mezi policejními složkami a menšinovými komunitami.
