Water in the Middle East: a structural vulnerability

Map produced for the annual review of the Eurasiapeace think tank.

As one of the world’s driest regions, the Middle East regards water as a resource that is both vital and strategic. The sharing of major transboundary river basins (the Tigris, Euphrates, Jordan and Nile) pits upstream states, which control the flow through their dams, against downstream states, which depend on it. Driven by climate change and demographic pressure, this water stress is becoming a factor in vulnerability and rivalries, which this map seeks to analyse.

Southeast Asia in three maps

A series of three maps created for the annual magazine of Classe Internationale, in collaboration with Aloïs Valade, as part of a partnership with the student associations of the French Institute of Geopolitics (IFG) and the Master’s Programme in International Relations and International Action (MRIAE).

This work accompanies an article focusing on Southeast Asia. The three maps locate and represent different sets of data related to the topic, helping to make the subject easier to understand while illustrating its main issues. Designed to complement one another, they provide a cartographic perspective on the information developed in the article.

The demarcation line(s) in the Jura

A series of three maps produced as part of Nathan Colombo Valette’s Master’s degree in Contemporary History, focusing on the topic “A department at war: towards a sensitive history of the demarcation line in the Jura (1940–1944)”.

This work comprises a general map providing context, as well as two maps detailing specific situations relating to the demarcation line. They enable the precise location of the various routes, crossing points and areas where the line extends or overlaps across several departments, in order to support and illustrate the student’s argument.

The expansion of NATO since 1949

This map traces the successive waves of enlargement of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) since its creation in 1949 by the twelve founding states. It first shows the Alliance’s establishment in Western Europe during the Cold War, in the face of the Soviet bloc.

It then highlights the gradual expansion into Central and Eastern Europe after 1991, with the major waves of enlargement in 1999 and 2004. The recent accessions of Finland (2023) and Sweden (2024), decided following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, illustrate the strategic realignment of the continent.

The return of the Chagos Archipelago

This dissertation analyses the return of the Chagos Archipelago, which was separated from Mauritius by the United Kingdom in 1965, from the Mauritian perspective. It places this sovereignty dispute within the context of the 2024 general election, at a time when the issue is becoming a major domestic and diplomatic concern.

It highlights the balance of power shaping the Indian Ocean, between Western powers, India and China. It also explains why the archipelago is so coveted: its central location, its vast maritime zone and the US military base at Diego Garcia make it a key strategic foothold.
