Description:
Libya is teetering on the edge of collapse, having become a new haven for terrorist organizations and an epicenter of the refugee crisis. Few could have imagined that the uprising against the longstanding regime of Mu˜ammar Al-Gaddafi would expose a polity deeply fractured by internal divisions. Fewer still could have predicted the intractability of the conflicts that emerged in the wake of this revolution. Jacob Mundy™s Libya is the first book to explain the political, security, and humanitarian crises that have engulfed Libya “ Africa™s largest oil-exporting country “ since the Arab Spring of 2011. Examining the roots of the anti-Gaddafi revolution and the failures that resulted in the country™s descent into chaos, Mundy identifies new centers of power that coalesced in the wake of the regime™s collapse. The more these rival coalitions vied for political authority and control over Libya™s vast oil wealth, the more they reached out to external actors who were playing their own śgreat gameť in Libya and across the region. In the face of such a multifaceted crisis, the future looks grim as the international community seems unable to bring peace to this divided and conflict-ridden nation.
