Manlio Graziano is a professor of geopolitics at the Paris School of International Affairs, Sciences Po, and the Sorbonne, and founder and director of the Nicholas Spykman International Center for Geopolitical Analysis.

He is the author of more than twenty books published in six languages, including titles with Stanford University Press, Columbia University Press, and Palgrave Macmillan. His work has been reviewed in The New Yorker and The Economist, and he is a regular contributor to Corriere della Sera, Limes, Gnosis, Appunti, and International Affairs Forum.

Trained in the Continental tradition of geopolitical analysis, he brings an outsider's vantage to the questions that preoccupy the Anglophone debate: the trajectory of American power, the return of religion to the political stage, the meaning of borders, and the shape of the coming international disorder. His method is to follow the analysis where it leads, which has a habit of arriving at conclusions no one else has reached.

He teaches in Paris and Geneva, lectures internationally, and co-hosts the geopolitics podcast Appunti di Geopolitica with Stefano Feltri.
