Camille Morel is a French legal expert and researcher specializing in international relations and submarine communications cables. She is known for her work on the geopolitical and strategic aspects of undersea cable networks.
Career
editMorel is a jurist by training and has focused her research on the global network of submarine communication cables. She currently works as a researcher and lecturer, sharing her expertise on this critical but often overlooked infrastructure. She is associated with the Institut d'études de stratégie et de défense (IESD) at the Université Jean Moulin Lyon III and the Centre d'études stratégiques de la Marine (CESM). She conducts her research in international relations through these affiliations.[1]
Research and publications
editMorel's research examines the role of submarine cables in international relations, their strategic importance, and the legal frameworks surrounding them. Her work highlights how these cables, which carry 98% of intercontinental data traffic, are becoming increasingly significant in geopolitical tensions and conflicts.[2]
In 2020, Morel completed her doctoral thesis titled "L'État et le réseau mondial de câbles sous-marins de communication" (The State and the global network of submarine communication cables) at the University Jean Moulin Lyon 3.[3]
In 2023, Morel published a book titled "Les câbles sous-marins" (Submarine cables) with CNRS Editions. The book explores the approximately 450 submarine fiber optic cables that form a vast network enabling data transport at the speed of light. It examines their role in economic and social development, their vulnerability to attacks, and their emergence as a new space of conflict.[4][5]. The book also explores the historical development of this network, tracing its roots back to the 19th-century telegraph system, and examines how it has shaped the current global communication landscape.[6] Morel's research also delves into the geopolitical implications of submarine cables. She notes that while satellites and space exploration often capture public imagination, the majority of internet traffic relies on these undersea cables.[7] Her work emphasizes France's significant role in the industry, both in terms of cable laying and maintenance, attributing this to the country's historical expertise in information transmission and its advantageous geographical position.[8]
Furthermore, Morel addresses the legal and security challenges surrounding submarine cables. She points out the concerning legal gaps regarding cable ownership, the threats of data interception, and their potential use in warfare. As the exchange of information becomes less dominated by Western countries, Morel advocates for systematic consultation among major users to prevent cables from becoming objects of conflict.[9]
On May 2023, Le Figaro published an interview with Camille Morel where she highlights the strategic and security issues surrounding submarine cable networks[10].
Camille Morel is regularly sought after by French media to share her expertise on submarine cables and their geopolitical and strategic implications.
