Expertise
- 01International relations & European geopoliticsHe does not describe the balance of power; he proposes architectures to organise it. Since 2002, one question runs through the work: on what terms does Europe become a subject rather than an object.LisbonBerlinMoscowVladivostok
- 02Security & defenceNine pieces in Revue Défense Nationale, an institutional op-ed with thirty-two signatories on nuclear policy, a NATO symposium. This is not a side interest: it is the best-documented field in the corpus.BucharestBrusselsViennaBelgrade
- 03Bilateral strategic axesFrance-Germany, France-Italy, Central Europe, the transatlantic link. He thinks not in territories but in connections between named points — and a connection, unlike a bloc, can be proved or disproved.ParisBerlinRomeBelgrade
- 04Sovereignty technologies & foresightIn 2005 he wrote that a Europe of power would be decided by the mastery of sovereignty technologies. In 2025 he co-signed a Figaro op-ed saying that data are the key to artificial intelligence. It is the same subject, twenty years apart.2005200720212025
- 05Territories & urban strategyA 478-page bilingual volume on a Eurodistrict, a working group on the future of local government, a dozen symposia moderated. This is where geopolitics is tested at the scale people actually live at.StrasbourgOrtenau
