Christine Dugoin-Clément holds a PhD in management sciences from IAE Business School Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne and is a qualified associate professor affiliated with IAE Paris – Sorbonne Business School. An associate researcher at the Artificial Intelligence Observatory of Paris 1 and at the IAE's Risks Chair, she also serves as director of the Master's programme in Quality, Safety and Environmental Management at IAE Paris.
Her profile is distinctive: it combines rigorous academic research in management sciences with direct operational experience in crisis environments. An operational reserve officer with the French Special Forces Land Command, former project officer at the Direction Générale de la Gendarmerie Nationale, and a graduate of both the Institut des Hautes Études de Défense Nationale (IHEDN) and the Centre National d'Entraînement Commando, she approaches geopolitics not as an abstract discipline, but as a practical framework for reading and navigating a world in constant flux.
Her research focuses on influence strategies, information warfare, cybersecurity, decision-making in extreme situations and international power dynamics. She is the author, published by the Presses Universitaires de France, of Géopolitique de l'ingérence russe : La stratégie du chaos (2025), alongside several works on influence and manipulation in modern armed conflicts.
A regular speaker before France's parliamentary defence committees, at the Paris Defence & Strategy Forum, and at major international academic and institutional conferences, she is also one of the most sought-after experts in French and international media — Arte, France Culture, France Inter, LCI, TF1, France 24, RFI, BFM — on contemporary conflicts, disinformation and digital sovereignty.
At ESIP, Christine Dugoin-Clément teaches geopolitics by placing students at the heart of today's defining fault lines: power struggles between states, hybrid warfare, influence strategies, digital sovereignty and the reshaping of international alliances. A demanding course, grounded in real-world terrain and current events, building the strategic literacy essential to any international career.
