Markiewicz’s research investigates how powerful states exhibit paradoxical weaknesses through securitization practices, methodological challenges in elite interviews, and the psychological dimensions of victimhood in geopolitical conflicts. His approach combines critical discourse analysis with qualitative fieldwork, particularly in environments where political actors resist disclosing sensitive information.
His recent publications explore securitization theory, state-centric political narratives, and memory studies. Key contributions include analyses of state anxiety, victimhood discourse in Middle Eastern conflicts, and the role of historical memory in shaping contemporary security policies. These works emphasize methodological innovation and interdisciplinary frameworks.
The articles in his bibliography reveal a scholarly focus on Security Studies, Political Theory, and Methodology, with recurring themes of state power dynamics, trauma-informed political identity, and critical analysis of security governance. His research frequently engages with Holocaust and Genocide Studies, examining how historical memory informs modern political rhetoric and conflict resolution.
