Biography

Frederick Douzet has a multidisciplinary academic background. Indeed, she studied political science at the Institute of Political Studies of Grenoble and at Oxford Brookes University, where she spent a year. Then, she graduated of a Master’s degree from the Graduate School of Journalism at UC Berkeley in 1993. After a year in the United States, she decided to join the graduate school of geopolitics at the University of Paris 8 where she did her PhD.

Frédérick Douzet has been a member of the editorial board of the review Hérodote since 1994. After being associate professor at the University of Cergy-Pontoise, she was a junior member of the Institut Universitaire de France from 2006 to 2011. She was a director of the disciplinary field of the Humanities specilisation ingeography and geopolitics and as thematic of studies the internal geopolitics of California, the urban segregation and the immigration and integration between the United States and Europe. Since 2006, she is a researcher at CRAG (Research and Analysis Center of Geopolitics) in Paris, she was mainly responsible of research areas on North America and Geopolitics of Cyberspace. Besides, she was the chairwoman of the Castex Chair of Cyber Strategy from 2013 to 2018 hosted by the Institute for Higher National Defence Studies (IHEDN). The Castex Chair in Cyberstrategy worked closely with the French Institute of Geopolitics to develop and disseminate this research, through its national and international outreach to a wide variety of audiences. Her current research studies the geopolitics of cyberspace related to political, economic and military issues. It is now considered as the fifth warfare domain after land, sea, air and space. Frederick Douzet’s work aims at highlighting cyber conflicts within their geopolitical context and training young researchers to take into account the cyber dimension of the geopolitical conflicts and regions they study. She led a team of graduate students from several subject areas at the University of Paris 8 and the Castex Chair of Cyber Strategy which topics are geopolitical and strategic challenges of the digital revolution or legal issues and sovereignty in cyberspace. She is currently teaching geopolitics as professor at University Paris 8. She is also member of the global commission on the stability of cyberspace, a high-level international group to promote standards of responsible behavior and peace in cyberspace. As with graduate students at University of Paris 8, training remains still a major interest because she has just led the creation of the Center Geopolitics of the Datasphere. In addition, her big project is the mapping of cyberspace to better understand the complex and malleable domain of cyberspace and facilitate decision-making. She worked during several seminars in cooperation with the French Ministry of the Armed Forces. As a consequence, she was a member of the editorial board of the Strategic Review of Cyberspace presented at the beginning of 2019 by the Ministry of the Armed Forces, Florence Parly. This review seeks to redefine the new strategic context, prioritise the French national interest and clarify its ambitions within a European framework.
