Rhoumour Ahmet Tchilouta is an emerging scholar whose expertise lies at the intersection of political geography, sociology, border studies, migration studies and international relations, with a particular focus on EU-Niger cooperation. He is currently pursuing a dual Ph.D. in political geography at the University of Grenoble Alpes in France and the Abdou Moumouni University of Niamey in Niger. His doctoral research is under an international cotutelle agreement, a notable distinction that underscores the transnational relevance of his work.
Ahmet Tchilouta holds two Master's degrees from the University of Grenoble Alpes - one in Social Sciences with a major in Sociology of Innovation and Social Reconfiguration, and another in Geography, Planning, Environment, Development with a major in Innovation and Territory. This multidisciplinary academic background underpins his comprehensive approach to the analysis of geopolitical and socio-political issues.
His research focuses on the intricacies of EU-Niger cooperation on migration and border management, exploring the complex dynamics of migration politics and related border violence, and more widely the question of Niger's sovereignty in the era of globalized migration governance. In addition, Tchilouta has a keen interest in the geospatial analysis of border practices and the socio-political and security dynamics of the Saharan gold rush.
Tchilouta's contributions to scholarship are evidenced by his publications in peer-reviewed journals such as Politique Étrangère, Revue Internationale des Etudes du Developpement (RIED), and Espace Politique. These works reflect his deep understanding and insight into his areas of interest. Beyond academic publications, he has authored and contributed to several major reports, demonstrating his ability to translate complex research into practical, policy-oriented recommendations.
Moreover, Tchilouta's expertise has been recognized beyond academia, as evidenced by his roles as consultant to various international organizations. His work with entities such as the Global Initiative Against Transnational Crime, Transnational Institute, Statewatch, or Border Forensics demonstrates his ability to translate academic insights into real-world challenges in international relations and geopolitics. This blend of academic rigor and practical application positions Ahmet Tchilouta as an emerging scholar in his field, contributing significantly to our understanding of contemporary geopolitical and sociopolitical issues in the Sahara-Sahel region.
