Irena specializes in Israel, Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and in relations between Central European countries and Israel. In her PhD thesis (LSE 2019), she looked at relations between Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Israel. Using IR theory which builds on constructivism, historical analysis, and politics of memory, she analysed historical roots of foreign policies of the three Central European countries towards Israel. In her current research (PRIMUS) she compares how politicians in Central European countries use and misuse traumatic past experiences to justify foreign policy positions.
