With a doctorate in international relations, Manon-Nour Tannous is a lecturer in political science at the University of Reims-Champagne-Ardenne (CRDT) and a research associate at the Thucydide Center (University of Paris-II ̶ Panthéon-Assas).
Her research in international relations focuses on Western diplomacy in the Middle East, with particular attention to Syria. She devoted her doctoral thesis to Franco-Syrian relations underJacques Chirac'stwo presidential terms. The aim was to understand this pivotal period in bilateral relations by mobilizing previously unpublished documentation, and to propose a broader concept, that of " lever bilateralism ". This work was published under the title Chirac, Assad et les autres, les relations franco-syriennes depuis 1946 (PUF, 2017).
Since 2011, through her knowledge of the Syrian terrain, she has been able to produce a set of analyses on the conflict, exploring on the one hand, as an extension of my thesis, French policy on the Syrian crisis, and on the other hand multilateral negotiations and the political process. With the aim of deconstructing preconceived ideas about this country, she published La Syrie au-delà de la guerre, histoire, politique et société (Cavalier bleu, 2022).
She is also editor-in-chief of Mondes arabes (published by Cairn and La Découverte), an academic journal on the Arab and Muslim worlds.
