Prof. Moshe Maor, Ph.D.

Moshe Maor is Professor of Political Science and Wolfson Family Chair Professor of Public Administration at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

His research focuses on bureaucratic reputations and disproportionate policy responses. In particular, his recent studies draw on a behavioural perspective to explore non-intentional and intentional policy over- and underreactions, policy bubbles, the interaction between policy bubbles, and the role of emotions in policy processes.

Maor holds a Ph.D. from LSE. His research has been widely published in leading journals such as Governance, Journal of Public Administration Research and Theory, and Policy Sciences. Current projects examine bureaucratic reputations and interagency collaboration by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and government responses to suspected policy bubbles.

Moshe Maor is a Visiting Fellow at CAS in January to March 2020 and is part of the CAS Research Group "Exceptional Political Dynamics: Temporality, Turbulence, Transformation" of Prof. Dr. Klaus H. Goetz. He will participate in the workshop on "Researching Dynamic Politics: Data, Methods, Theories" on 28 and 29 November 2019.
