[4] Trained in mathematics,[citation needed] he is a lecturer in geopolitics at the Royal College of Higher Military Education of the Kingdom of Morocco, director of the Revue française de géopolitique (French Review of Geopolitics) and editor of several collections published by Ellipses in Paris (Grands enjeux, Taupe-Niveau and Référence géopolitique).

He has taught at the Collège interarmées de défense (CID: French Joint Defense College) since 1999, where he oversees geopolitics courses.

Chauprade is a contributor to African historian Bernard Lugan's magazine, L'Afrique réelle (Real Africa), works for Dominique Venner's La Nouvelle Revue d'Histoire.

[citation needed] After the publication of his book, Chronique du choc des civilisations ("Chronicle of the Clash of Civilizations" reedited in 2015), Chauprade was accused by French journalist Jean Guisnel[5] of espousing September 11 conspiracy theories.

[6][7][8] During the controversy, Chauprade (who filed a complaint against the Minister and the magazine Le Point) received support from CID students[9] and his former university professor Edmond Jouve.

On 24 March 2009 the Paris Administrative Court ruled in his favour, suspending Morin's decision and saying that the minister had violated a "fundamental freedom".

[14] Chauprade organized a conference with Jacques Frémeaux and Philippe Evanno in February 2013 at the Sorbonne (University of Paris IV) on threats in North Africa and the Sahel and Europe's overall security (Menaces en Afrique du Nord et au Sahel et sécurité globale de l'Europe), the proceedings of which were published in April 2013 by Ellipses Editions.

According to Jean-Marc Huissoud, Chauprade is considered a founder of the new French geopolitics, describing the "continuous and discontinuous" in his analysis of international questions.

[24] Chauprade should be the National Front's top candidate in the Île-de-France district for the 2014 European elections and Le Pen's advisor on foreign-policy issues.

He travelled to Crimea to "monitor" the Crimean status referendum,[26] having been invited by the far-right Eurasian Observatory for Democracy & Elections (EODE) according to La Libération[27] He was personally commenting the events live on Russia Today on 16 March.

In his ITélé interview of 9 November 2015 Chauprade appealed for the return of Philippe de Villiers and showed a strong desire of work by his side.

[28] He also stated that Alain Soral's anti-Semitic[29] influence on a part of the party is one of the main reasons that made him quit the National Front.

[30] On her side, Marine Le Pen claimed that "after the Air Cocaine gate, our disagreements with Aymeric Chauprade became too important for him to stay at the National Front".

[37] On 20 March 2013, two French passengers were arrested at the Punta Cana airport in the Dominican Republic with suitcases filled with cocaine.

[44] After extraction of the two pilots, international arrest warrants were issued by the Dominican Republic against Chauprade, Christophe Naudin, and Pierre Malinowski for "people smuggling and trafficking in human beings".
