Selected Writing
What journalists say.
From senior reporters who have worked directly with Olivier on major international stories.
"Olivier Guitta's geopolitical briefs provide the professional analyst and the lay reader the necessary tools to identify the dynamic political trends as well as the more static cultural undercurrents that define today's and tomorrow's events. He is, in short, a great resource for western policy-makers."
Jane Corbin Senior Reporter, BBC Panorama"Olivier Guitta has an in-depth expertise in global security issues and is a hugely well-informed source. His analysis of Islamic State and its exporting of terrorism to mainland Europe has been invaluable in a number of subsequent articles."
