Christophe Guilluy

Christophe Guilluy (, born 14 October 1964 in Montreuil, Seine-Saint-Denis) is a French geographer and author.

He is known for his theory on "peripheral France" , laid out in the 2014 book La France périphérique, which refers to mainly rural areas of France where many members of the political elite have lost contact with working-class people. He has used that theory to explain the rise of the far-right National Front in the country.

He also theorised the reason for American support of Donald Trump by the existence of a peripheral America during an interview in the French magazine Le Point.
