A graduate of Sciences Po Strasbourg in International and Global Relations, specialising in Negotiation and Expertise, Antonin Vuillemin is interested in major contemporary political and strategic issues. A history enthusiast, he also places great importance on philosophy, which he knows fairly well, as well as political science, economics, and more broadly, social sciences. He enjoys drawing connections between these different fields to better understand the world. What matters most to him lies elsewhere however, between theology, metaphysics, and spirituality—the only truly meaningful paths toward anything genuinely liberating.
As part of his first-year Master’s studies, he devoted his thesis to examining Czech foreign policy through the lens of Miloš Zeman’s presidency. This work gave him an opportunity to reflect on the relationship between political authority and individual will, between institutions and personal trajectories, as well as on the influence of regional environments and historical legacies on a state’s strategic choices. He particularly observed the deep tension in Czechia between supporters of the West and those aligned with ‘the rest,’ between proponents of “bloc” politics and advocates of a politics of states.
He has been a member of CEFRES since April 2025, where he is responsible for coordinating administrative documents and providing administrative support.
