Biographyedit
Barzilai was born on 11 January 1958 in Tel Aviv to parents who had survived the Holocaust. He studied History, Judaism, and Political Science at Bar-Ilan University, Law at Tel Aviv University, and in 1987 he received his PhD from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, which awarded him several prestigious prizes as well as a Fulbright grant.[2] After completing his PhD and LLB [JD] he studied quantitative research methods at University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and completed a post doctorate at Yale University. Later, he continued to teach at Yale University before deciding to return to Israel.
Barzilai served as a professor at Tel Aviv University in the political science department and the law school. Barzilai was the first founding director (1999–2002) of the newly-established international Dan David Prize, which is among the three large-prize foundations in the world, bestowing international prizes and scholarships for academic and scientific international excellence. In 2004, he moved to the University of Washington where he had been a professor in the Law, Societies, and Justice Program,[3] Comparative Law and Society Studies Center,[4] and in the Jackson School of International Studies.[5] In 2012 he was elected and served as the dean of the Faculty of Law at University of Haifa.
Barzilai was the co-founder and co-chair of the Israeli Association of Law and Society. He was a board member of the Law and Society Association (class of 2006), American Journal of Political Science (1998–2003), Association of Israel Studies (1993–1996, 2007–2023), Israel Studies Forum (2004–2023), and the Journal of Comparative Studies (2006–2023). He was active in international, Israeli and Israeli-Palestinian human rights organizations and has advised senior politicians and NGOs on issues of law and politics. Barzilai was elected in 2011 as the president of the Association for Israel Studies and served until 2013.[6]
Gad Barzilai is best known for his critical analysis of law as a dimension in political power, which should be understood through using combined methodologies of socio-political-legal studies.[according to whom?] His work emphasizes the importance of legal pluralism, political elite, critical communitarianism, cultural relativism, and political power in local, state and global sites. Barzilai had published numerous books and articles on these issues.
