Manlio Graziano

Manlio Graziano is an Italian scholar specializing in geopolitics and geopolitics of religions. He lives in Paris.

Life

Graziano graduated with first-class honors in French literature from the University of Turin, the city in which he then taught for several years. After moving to France, he obtained his doctorate in Italian studies from the University Stendhal-Grenoble III, defending a thesis about Italian political identity.

Thanks to the French geopolitician Michel Korinman and to Lucio Caracciolo, editor of the Italian geopolitical journal ''Limes'', he entered the world of geopolitical studies, in which he specializes in geopolitics of religions.

He teaches at the Paris Institute of International Affairs, Sciences Po, at the Sorbonne and at the College of Europe. He regularly publishes in ''Limes'', and he has also collaborated with the journals ''Foreign Policy'', ''Modern Italy'', ''Geopolitical Affairs'', ''International Affairs Forum'', ''Heartland'', ''Outre-Terre'', as well as with the ''Corriere della Sera'' and ''Il Sole 24 Ore''. The American edition of his book on Italian political identity, ''The Failure of Italian Nationhood'', was reviewed by ''The New Yorker'' and ''The Economist''. In June 2015 he was invited by the UN Correspondents Association to discuss his thesis about the geopolitics of religion at the United Nations headquarters in New York City.Professor Manlio Graziano author of “Holy War and Holy Alliance: Religions and International Disorder in the 21st Century” (Columbia University Press, due end of the year) presenting his book 17 June 2015, at UN Correspondents Association
