Tribes and the State in Libya and Iraq
Regime change in Libya (2011) and Iraq (2003) catapulted a host of sub-state actors to the fore, including tribes, which have emerged as influential political, security, and social actors. But despite this increased role and visibility, tribes remain poorly understood. Often mistakenly associated with the “periphery” or with “pre-national” or “pre-modern” forms of political organisation, they are routinely portrayed as the antithesis of the state…
The Libyan Unraveling
After intervening to help topple an eccentric dictator in 2012, the United States and its allies have stood aside and watched as rival militias tear apart a country lacking civil institutions

The Migration of Power and North-South Inequalities
Emanuela Paoletti, Basingstoke, Palgrave Macmillan, 2011, ISBN 978-0-230-24926-4, £63.00 In June 2011, two months before the fall of Tripoli and four months before the death of Libyan leader Colone
Localism and radicalization in North Africa
Over the past three decades North Africa has experienced a wave of Islamic activism. From the emergence of groups such as Shabiba Islamiya in Morocco in the 1970s to the recent appearance of Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, the region has been home to a plethora of different Islamist movements, each with its own national characteristics. As such the region has displayed a general propensity to Islamist activism. However, certain areas within each…
The New Frontiers of Jihand
Following the terrorist attacks on London and Madrid, radical Islam is presumed to be an increasingly potent force in Europe. Yet beneath the media hysteria, very little is actually known about it. What radical movements are there? How do they operate? What is driving them? Who are their recruits? What is their relationship, if any, to Al Qaeda? Alison Pargeter has spent three years interviewing radical Islamists throughout Europe to find answers…
North African Immigrants in Europe and Political Violence
North African communities in Europe have been the focus of unprecedented attention since the attacks of 9/11, largely thanks to the wave of arrests of North Africans on terrorism related charges across the continent. Yet very little is known about exactly who these North African militants are, what is motivating them and how and why they became attracted to radical interpretations of Islam. It is often assumed that these radicals are linked to Al…
Libya
The violent protests that broke out in Libya's eastern city of Benghazi in February 2006 in response to the row over the Danish cartoons of the Prophet Mohamed came as no big surprise to Libya watchers. Although the demonstrations were sparked by Italian minister Roberto Calderoli's declaration that he intended to print t-shirts bearing the cartoons, they also reflected the simmering discontent and frustration that have long been building in the …

Anglo-Libyan relations and the Suez crisis
The Suez Crisis of 1956 had a profound and long‐lasting effect on British policy towards Libya and fundamentally changed the relationship between the two nations. From Libyan independence in 1951, Britain had come to rely on Libya as a vital part of its global defence strategy, and regarded its pro‐Western monarchy as a means of offsetting the Arab nationalism that was fast sweeping the region. The Suez Crisis, however, was to shatter Britain's p…
