Dr. Maoz Rosenthal has been a senior lecturer at the Lauder School of Government, Diplomacy and Strategy at Reichman University since 2013. Dr. Rosenthal's research deals with the way in which political actors strive to achieve their goals in parliamentary democracies in general and with specifically in the Israeli case. His research mainly examines how political elites (prime ministers, members of parliament, high court judges and senior officials) use institutional arrangements, rhetoric and heresthetic(s) to turn their political desires into public policy. Alongside dealing with political elites, Dr. Rosenthal examines how weakened political groups operate in elections based on their social status in order to achieve their goals. In this context, his research examines the political behavior of Arabs in Israel and the electoral behavior of Mizrahim in Israel. Dr. Rosenthal's research utilizes the rational choice approach (with an emphasis on realistic and pragmatic use of the principles of the approach), and on research methods such as analytical narratives and quantitative research methods. Dr. Rosenthal was a visiting lecturer in a program of Israeli colleagues on behalf of the Schusterman Foundation in the Department of Political Science at SUNY Binghamton University in the United States. He was a visiting researcher at the McMillan Center at Yale University and was the first postdoctoral fellow of the Planning and Budgeting Committee of the Council for Higher Education in Israel in the Department of Sociology, Political Science and Communication at the Open University. Dr. Rosenthal studied all his degrees in the Department of Political Science at Tel Aviv University under the supervision of the late Professor Gideon Doron.
