Biography

Yann Breault is an assistant professor at the Royal Military College of St-Jean. He previously taught at the Université du Québec à Montréal, where he obtained a PhD in Political science with honours for a thesis on national identity reconstructions within the post-Soviet states of Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. With Jacques Lévesque, he founded in 2015 the Eurasia Observatory (ODE) at the Center for Studies on Integration and Globalization (CEIM) and joined the Strategic Analysis Network in 2020. His research focuses mainly on the foreign policies of Russia and the states of the former USSR, geostrategic and geoeconomic issues in Eurasia, and questions of identity.

He is co-author of La Russie et son ex-Empire, reconfiguration géopolitique de l’ancien espace post-soviétique (Science Po, 2003), and contributor to several collective books including The Return of the Cold War: Ukraine, the West and Russia (Routledge, 2016), The New World Disorder: Challenges and Threats in an Uncertain World (Lexington, 2019) and L’après COVID-19 : Quel multilatéralisme face aux enjeux globaux ?
