His work has been published by European and German think-tanks, as well by publications such as Marianne, Dilema Veche, The Parliament Magazine, Palladium, and The Brussels Times. He is currently completing a PhD in political philosophy at the University of Ghent on techno-natalism, the use of reproductive technologies for population goals such as higher birth rates and genetic health. He writes on history, politics, and demographics on his Evopolitics blog. Our conversation is about Gaullism past and present. Former French president Charles de Gaulle set out a political philosophy that balanced French independence with pan-Europeanism as a way to prevent domination by the United States or the Soviet Union, now Russia. His ideas have seen a resurgence as they are perhaps more relevant than ever.
