Alexandre Massaux

I hold a doctorate in law from the Université de Toulon in France, directed by Professor Louis Balmond and co-directed by Professor Pierre Binette of the Université de Sherbrooke. The subject of his thesis was “Relations between NATO member states and Russia in the 21st century”. I also hold a master's degree in business administration. I am an associate researcher of the Raoul Dandurand Chair in Montreal.

In 2017, I completed a research stay at the School of Applied Politics at the Université de Sherbrooke. In connection with his areas of expertise and doctoral research, I made several trips to Central Europe (Poland and the Czech Republic) in 2018. During these trips, I was able to meet officials and former ministers from the Visegrad group of countries, and speak with some of them.

My main research areas focuses on : American foreign policy, Central European politics, Geopolitics of Russia International defense and asymmetric conflicts, and the use of Artificial Intelligence in cyber conflicts.

I speak French and English.
