Dr. Daphne Richemond-Barak's research focuses on contemporary warfare, from unilateral humanitarian intervention to the interpretation of the laws of war in modern conflicts, the deployment of intelligent defense systems, the rise and return of foreign fighters, artificial intelligence, and tunnel warfare. Her approach is deeply grounded in multi-disciplinary research, at the intersection of international relations, international law, policy, and security studies. 

She is Assistant Professor in the Lauder School of Government, Diplomacy and Strategy at IDC Herzliya, where she heads the International Program in Government. She also serves as Senior Researcher and Head of the International Law Desk at the International Institute for Counter-Terrorism (ICT), and as an Adjunct Scholar at the Modern War Institute at West Point.  

Her monograph, Underground Warfare, was published by Oxford University Press in 2018, and she is the author of the 7th edition of Rosenne's The World Court: What It Is and How It Works (forthcoming at Brill).
