Pascale MARTIN-BIDOU serves as Lecturer in Public Law at Paris-Panthéon-Assas University, where she holds dual leadership roles as co-director of the Institute of Advanced International Studies (IHEI) and co-head of the Master 2 Law and Security Strategies program. Her academic profile centers on the intersection of international legal frameworks with contemporary security and environmental challenges, operating from the university's historic Panthéon campus in Paris. Her research portfolio demonstrates deep specialization across three interconnected domains: International Law (particularly United Nations mechanisms and judicial processes), Environmental Law (with emphasis on climate security and resource governance), and International Security and Defense Law (covering terrorism, maritime security, and armed conflict). This tripartite focus manifests in her analysis of climate change as a security threat, the Montego Bay Convention's security implications, and counterterrorism legal frameworks. Analysis of her 15 most recent publications (2024-2015) reveals evolving scholarly priorities: early work concentrated on historical jurisprudence (e.g., Alvarez's ICJ theories), shifting toward urgent contemporary issues like Russia's Council of Europe withdrawal (2022) and climate-security linkages (2021).
