After completing a PhD at Université Grenoble-Alpes, Aurélien ANTOINE was a Senior Lecturer at Université d’Auvergne. He passed the agrégation in Public Law in 2012. Since then, he has been a Professor of Public Law at the Faculty of Law in Saint-Étienne. He is the Vice-Dean in charge of International Affairs and Communication. He is also the Director of the College of Law and the Master's program in "International Law, European Law, and Comparative Law." Additionally, he co-directs the institution overseeing PhD students at Université de Lyon (École doctorale de Droit – ED 492). He is currently a researcher at CERCRID – UMR 5137 (Saint-Étienne) and CERSA – UMR 7106 (Université Paris II - Panthéon-Assas).
In 2023, the University Jean-Monnet Saint-Étienne created a Chair in Comparative Public Law and Politics, held by Professor ANTOINE. This research structure has enabled the development of numerous innovative academic initiatives in France.
Aurélien ANTOINE's research focuses on comparative law, constitutional law, and administrative law. Building on his doctoral work, he also devotes part of his research to the relationships between law, the state, and the economy. However, most of his publications focus on British public law. The author of numerous articles on this subject, he has also organised several conferences related to this research area. In 2016 and again in 2018, he published a book titled Droit constitutionnel britannique in the Systèmes collection of LGDJ, with a preface by Lord Mance, former Deputy President of the UK Supreme Court, and the late Anthony W. Bradley, Emeritus Professor of Constitutional Law at the University of Edinburgh. The third edition was published in 2023.
Since January 2017, Aurélien ANTOINE has been directing the Observatoire du Brexit, an online scientific platform that continuously examines the United Kingdom’s withdrawal process from the European Union and analyses the post-Brexit UK. As a result, he is regularly consulted as an expert on this issue by both institutions and national and international media. His book Le Brexit. Une histoire anglaise (Dalloz, 2020) was awarded the Édouard Bonnefous Prize from the Institut de France in 2021 and the 10th August-Debouzy Prize from the Club des Juristes the same year.
This initiative, along with the website of the Chair, contributes to knowledge dissemination for all as part of digital humanities and open science.
Aurélien ANTOINE has participated in numerous academic programs and international conferences, not only in the field of law but also in the history of ideas, British civilisation, and political science. From 2009 to 2012, he co-directed a partnership between the Faculty of Law of Université Clermont-Auvergne and Renmin University in Beijing. In 2012, he was invited by the Romanian Academy in Bucharest. He coordinates the off-campus Law Bachelor's and Master’s programs in Economic Law in São Paulo, Brazil (PITES program of Université Lyon II, Lyon III, and Saint-Étienne). He regularly travels to London and Oxford as part of his research projects and maintains close ties with several researchers from the House of Commons Library, Supreme Court judges, and scholars from the Bingham Center for the Rule of Law.
Aurélien ANTOINE is currently supervising five PhDs. He is a member of the editorial boards of both French and international journals and is regularly called upon to review scientific publications. Each year, he participates in selection committees for maîtres de conférences (lecturers) in France and has also been invited as a foreign expert for faculty recruitment at British universities.
