Dr. Inna Rudolf is a Senior Research Fellow at the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation (ICSR) and a postdoctoral Research Fellow at King’s College London’s Centre for the Study of Divided Societies. She holds a PhD in War Studies from King’s College London and a Master’s in Political Science and Islamic Studies from the University of Heidelberg. Her research focuses on conflict security, identity politics, and paramilitary governance in post-conflict regions. Rudolf’s work analyzes the hybridization of security systems, particularly Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), and explores how violent memories influence borderland dynamics. She actively contributes to debates on post-conflict reconstruction, as seen in her analyses of Mosul’s rebuilding and social resilience in Iraq and Ukraine.
Her academic output includes studies on proxy wars, post-IS reconciliation challenges, and the political economy of violent entrepreneurs. She has organized interdisciplinary events addressing critical issues like the Yezidi genocide’s legacy, Arab Islamist responses to Gaza, and regional peacebuilding controversies. Rudolf’s partnership with the Candid Foundation further amplifies her engagement with societal and security challenges in conflict zones.
Key research themes include the interplay between state legitimacy and non-state armed groups, the role of memory in conflict regions, and the socio-economic dimensions of post-conflict recovery. Her work bridges theoretical frameworks with empirical fieldwork, offering insights into governance complexities in divided societies.
