Guy Ben-Porat onderzoekt de ingewikkelde relatie tussen globalisering en vredesprocessen, en analyseert hoe mondiale krachten inspanningen om langdurige conflicten op te lossen kunnen bevorderen of ondermijnen. Zijn werk vergelijkt vredesinitiatieven in verschillende regio's en belicht de spanning tussen mondiale liberale tendensen en lokaal populisme. Hij duikt verder in de impact van economische en demografische verschuivingen op de secularisering en religieuze autoriteit in hedendaagse samenlevingen. Zijn huidige onderzoek richt zich op politiepraktijken in multiculturele staten en de dynamiek tussen wetshandhaving en minderheidsgemeenschappen.
