Dr. Jean-Yves CAMUS is a specialist on the French and European Radical Right and was one of the very first scholars to study the former Front national (now Rassemblement national) in the early 1980s. He has also paid early attention to the New Right and Identitarian movement, as well as to the history and ideology of the Catholic Traditionalist movement and Counter-Revolutionary thinking. He has extensively written on those topics in French, English, German and other European languages. He has lectured worldwide on those topics and is now associated with the Institute for European, Russian and Eurasian Studies (IERES) at George Washington University, working on a long-time research project aiming at writing the history of the relations between Russia and the European Right in the XXth Century. In the past, he has led the Centre d’études et de recherches sur le racism et l’antisémitisme contemporains (CERA).

Also holding a degree in Public administration from the Institut d’études politiques de Paris (Sciences-Po) and having held senior positions in public service, he seats on the Scientific Board of several State Commissions dealing with the issues of Racism, Antisemitism and Terrorism and regularly lectures at the Ecole Nationale d’Administration.. He has authored reports for the Council of Europe, the French Commission nationale consultative des droits de l’Homme and other French or European Public bodies. He has lately been called to testify before the Assemblée nationale on the topic of radical right extremism.
