Women and 'War Economies': In Conversation with Dr. Orly Stern

In this insightful conversation about her latest book project, Dr. Orly Maya Stern explores the often-overlooked roles of women in war economies—the illicit activities and criminal enterprises that sustain armed conflicts. War economies emerge when conflict actors, such as insurgent groups, corrupt politicians, and criminal syndicates, engage in activities like smuggling, trafficking, and extortion to fund their operations and perpetuate the war. These economies blur the lines between conflict, crime, and commerce. Traditionally, research has focused on men as the dominant players in these economies. However, Dr. Stern’s work challenges this stereotype by revealing the critical roles women play, not just as victims but as active participants and collaborators in these conflict-driven industries. From resource extraction and drug trafficking to kidnapping for ransom and smuggling, Dr. Stern’s research highlights the varied and complex ways women interact with war economies. While they rarely hold leadership roles, their involvement is essential in sustaining these networks. Dr. Orly Maya Stern, a year-long ASI associate and an international lawyer specialising in armed conflict, gender, security, and law, is also a featured speaker at the ASI Thought Leaders Forum: "Fuelling Conflict: Inside the Illicit Economies of War," where she joins other experts in discussing various aspects of war economies.
