Nadina Ronc is a political analyst, author, and journalist whose journey from fleeing the war in Bosnia to becoming a prominent voice in global affairs embodies resilience and transformation. This early experience of displacement profoundly shaped her perspective on conflict, belonging, and identity.
Her work has appeared in Al Jazeera English, Middle East Eye, and the Journal of Peace and War Studies. She has given interviews to Al Jazeera Balkans on Russia’s foreign policy and has been a guest commentator on TRT World. She has also collaborated with CNBC and Fox Business Network. Her expertise has been recognised by institutions such as the Strategic Studies Institute of the U.S. Army War College, which financially supported her research into the Kremlin’s interference in the Western Balkans. She is currently developing new projects that combine rigorous policy analysis with narrative insight.
In 2025, Ronc published her debut memoir, Daughters of Dissidents Need Not Apply, a deeply personal exploration of displacement, belonging, and the human cost of political violence. Praised for its honesty and emotional depth, the book offers both personal testimony and a broader reflection on the struggle to rebuild belonging. Alongside her writing, she has spoken on Russia, Ukraine, genocide, memory, and the refugee experience, including at the Bradford Literature Festival, where she reflected on the legacy of Srebrenica and its contemporary relevance.
Her work bridges lived experience and policy analysis, offering both human and strategic insight into conflict and resilience. Driven by a commitment to human rights, accountability, and evidence-based analysis, she calls out violence against civilians by both state and non-state actors, with the conviction that truth and justice must remain central to foreign policy and global security debates.
