Chantal Delsol

The founder of the Hannah Arendt research institute, founded in 1993, her work is inspired by Julien Freund and Pierre Boutang, as well as by her Catholic faith.

Her main political ideals are centered upon liberalism, federalism, as well as the principle of subsidiarity based on the idea of singularity.

She is currently a professor at Université de Marne-la-Vallée, where she directs the centre for European studies, known as the Hannah Arendt Institute, which she founded in 1993.

Chantal Delsol is a strong supporter of European federalism, an Idea she traces to Catholicism and the baroque culture of Germanic countries.

A federation, she argues, is an indeterminate contract based on the common goal of peace and prosperity, offering a greater degree of flexibility and thus a more fluid and open state.
