Spécialiste des questions méditerranéennes et turques, Dorothée Schmid est diplômée de Science-Po Paris, titulaire d’un troisième cycle en économie appliquée et docteur en Sciences politiques de l'Université Paris-II Panthéon-Sorbonne. Elle a rejoint de l'Ifri en 2002 après avoir travaillé en tant qu'analyste risques pays pour la banque Crédit Agricole-Indosuez et effectué des missions de conseil auprès d'institutions publiques (Commission européenne, ministère français de l'Économie, ministère des Affaires étrangères), ainsi que d'ONG (Cités-Unies France) et d'entreprises privées.
Ses premiers travaux ont porté sur les politiques européennes et françaises en Méditerranée et au Moyen-Orient, la conditionnalité politique de l’aide économique et les processus de démocratisation, l’équilibre centre/périphérie dans les configurations institutionnelles du pouvoir. Elle a créé en 2008 le Programme Turquie contemporaine de l’Ifri afin de suivre les transformations du régime turc et le renforcement de sa politique étrangère dans le voisinage et au-delà. Ses recherches actuelles portent sur la dynamique des réformes politiques au Moyen-Orient, l'avenir des États rentiers, les réorganisations post-conflit et la lutte d'influence entre puissances de la région.
