Life
His father Jules Moïsi was a survivor of the Auschwitz concentration camp . Dominique Moïsi studied political science at the Sorbonne and Harvard , taught at the École nationale d'administration , the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales and at the Institut d'études politiques de Paris . He was Raymond Aron's assistant and editor-in-chief of Politique étrangère .
After the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, Moïsi attracted attention as one of the first French publicists to welcome the foreseeable end of the division of Germany as a new opportunity for Europe. Years later, Moïsi justified his position by referring to his father: His fate as an Auschwitz survivor made him “to fall in love with Europe”. Like Simone Veil , Jules Moïsi saw the building of a united Europe as the best way to overcome the "tragedy of the past".
In the course of the 1990s Moïsi published several "trilateral" pleadings for eastward expansion and the simultaneous institutional modernization of the EU together with the British Timothy Garton Ash and the German Michael Mertes .
Moïsi is a member of the international advisory board of the "Moscow School of Political Studies" and a member of the European Council on Foreign Relations .
In 2008 he published the book "La géopolitique de l'émotion: Comment les cultures de peur, d'humiliation et d'espoir façonnent le monde" (The geopolitics of emotion: How the cultures of fear, humiliation and hope shape the world), which appeared in 2009 in English and German translation. In total, it has been translated into 26 languages. In his 2016 published book “La géopolitique des séries ou le triomphe de la peur” (The geopolitics of TV series or The Triumph of Fear), he argues that TV series such as Game of Thrones , Homeland or House of Cards are geopolitically effective fears of the audience reflect in many countries around the world and are therefore so successful worldwide.
