Dr. Morr Link

Dr. Morr Link is a Lecturer in the Department of Political Studies at Bar-Ilan University. She received her PhD in International Relations from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 2024 and held postdoctoral positions at the Hebrew University’s Leonard Davis Institute and the University of Potsdam’s Chair of International Organizations. She previously worked as a researcher at the Institute for National Security Studies (INSS).
Her research bridges international political economy and Middle Eastern studies, examining how domestic institutions, regime type, and resource wealth shape states’ engagement with international and regional economic governance. Her work focuses on foreign investment governance, institutional design, and international organizations, with particular focus on variation among autocratic regimes. She combines quantitative and qualitative methods, drawing on primary Arabic-language sources to connect regional insights with broader debates in international relations. She also studies Israeli-Arab relations, particularly the economic dimensions of peace and normalization.
This academic year, Dr. Link teaches three undergraduate courses: The Political Economy of the Middle East and North Africa, Israel’s Relations with the Arab World: A Political Economy Perspective, and Non-Democracies in International Relations.
