Her research focuses on International Relations, with particular expertise in American Foreign Policy, European Foreign Policy, and Transatlantic Relations. She has published extensively on US foreign policy across multiple administrations, analyzing shifts in multilateralism, security policy, and US-EU relations. Her recent work examines the implications of the Russia-Ukraine war, US-China strategic competition, and the evolving transatlantic relationship in an era of geopolitical uncertainty.
Professor Haar's scholarly output demonstrates consistent growth in international relations research, with over 120 publications including articles in International Studies Review and Politics and Policy. Her research often employs theoretical frameworks like the Advocacy Coalition Framework to analyze foreign policy change. Recent publications reflect her focus on contemporary challenges including the impact of US elections on transatlantic relations, European strategic autonomy, and US policy toward the Israel-Palestine conflict.
She actively engages with policy communities through speaking engagements with the Dutch House of Representatives, the Wilfried Martens Centre for European Studies, and the D66 Party Congress. As a regular columnist for the Dutch magazine EW, she writes the 'Across the Atlantic' column analyzing US politics and foreign policy for a broader audience.
Professor Haar has supervised numerous PhD students and contributes to academic training through programs like the Clingendael Institute's international relations program. Her research is supported by significant EU funding through the REMIT project, which examines multilateralism in the context of technological change and geopolitical competition.
