2. SYNOPSIS
Political analyst, researcher and consultant for various media and organizations,
with 30 years’ experience across Europe and the MENA region. I work at the
intersection of culture and security, with a special focus on value and risk analysis
and forecasting. As a Special Advisor and Analyst, my insights can make the
difference between right and wrong decisions for any organization working in the
region’s political, societal and business environments.
I published throughout my career daily and weekly analyses, along with peer-
reviewed articles, about politics in the Middle East, the USA, Europe, and
international relations, as well as books in three languages. I participated to
several international conferences.
My duties at the Diplomatic Institute include the following:
- Strategic thinking, scenario- building, and policy analysis.
- Media strategies.
- Speech writing.
- Executive Editor of the Magazine of the Ministry + Editing, reviewing and
supervising translations and publications of the Institute in both English and
Arabic.
- General advisory and recommendations.
- Annual Survey of regional and international think tanks and organizations.
From 2011 through 2013, I was Associate Researcher at ACRPS (Doha Institute).
At the same time, I served as Head of Online publishing (Website academic
supervisor) and Coordinator of the Political Unit producing regular unsigned
Assessment Reports and Policy papers, of which I was the Editor.
In 2009, while based in Paris, I have founded and supervised as Editor-in-Chief a
peer-reviewed journal: Middle East Studies, to which several renowned scholars
were associated as members of the international Editorial Board.
I am member of the editorial board of peer-reviewed journals: Maxwell Sciences
for the journal “Current Research Journal of Social Sciences,” Adjunct fellow of
the Guild of independent scholars (Florida, USA), which publishes the “Journal of
Alternative Perspectives in the Social Sciences.”
I have contributed as regular columnist at several media outlets, such as the Gulf
Today (UAE), Al-Madinah newspaper (Saudi Arabia); Al-Arab (London)... and
was several times guest and political commentator for radio and TV (France 24?
!2

3. Al Jazeera, etc.)… I was France Editor for World Security Network Foundation
(WSN). My scholarly papers have been regularly diffused on Social Science
Research Network.

MAGHREB, MONDE ARABE, MOYEN ORIENT
Cet ouvrage est une étude comparative relative à l'islam européen et l'islam
global, basée à la fois sur l'analyse documentaire, sociologique, anthropologique
et sur les données quantitatives de l'enquête sociale européenne et la World Values
Survey. Peut-on vraiment dire que l'islam n'est pas fautif, quant à l'exclusion des
musulmans d'Europe ? S'agit-il vraiment seulement de politiques européennes
biaisées envers les musulmans ? Comment expliquer la radicalisation de certains
musulmans d'Europe ?

Ce livre analyse les changements survenus durant les différents règnes en Arabie
Saoudite: Abdelaziz, Saoud, Faysal, Khaled, Fahd et Abdallah, en mettant
l'accent sur les deux derniers, le roi Fahd et son prince héritier, qui se sont
partagés les responsabilités gouvernementales durant les années 80. Tandis que
le premier s'est concentré sur les affaires internationales, le second s'est penché
sur les affaires régionales, surtout arabes, d'où une certaine différence de style et
un angle de vue différent.

Préface de Burhan Ghalioun
Comprendre le Moyen-Orient
ACTUALITÉ SOCIALE ET POLITIQUE MAGHREB, MONDE ARABE,
MOYEN ORIENT Irak
L'idée centrale qui guide cette recherche peut être formulée en une question :
dans quelle mesure l'Etat à (re)construire répond-il aux attentes des irakiens ?
Cette question sous-tend toutes celles qui sont en corrélation avec le projet du
changement, lequel projet a été entrepris bien avant l'intervention militaire, à
travers les luttes conduites par les opposants irakiens à l'intérieur et en exil. Dans
ce contexte, l'intervention américano-britannique n'a fait que donner le coup de
grâce final au régime en place. C'est pourquoi de la coopération de ces trois
protagonistes (Irakiens, Américains, Britanniques) dépend désormais l'avenir de
l'Irak.
