Nir is interested in the coming together and the changing nature of the fields of international development and humanitarianism. From this empirical juxtaposition, he engages questions of governmentality, globalization vis-à-vis localization, neo-institutionalism, the politics of statehood and citizenhood, the social construction of knowledge, and human rights in today's interconnected world.
