He published several books, edited volumes, over sixty peer-reviewed academic articles, and copious essays and op-eds. His recent books include The Mortality and Morality of Nations, Living on the Edge: The Existential Uncertainty of Zionism, Self-Determination: A Double-Edged Concept and Communication, Legitimation and Morality in Modern Politics. He is currently completing his book on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, tentatively entitled Nemesis: The Making of an Existential Conflict.
