End of the Beginning
Libya’s ‘September One Revolution’ that initiated the 42-year-long rule of Muammar al-Qaddafi in 1969 took the United States Embassy in Tripoli completely by surprise. American diplomats had long anticipated a coup d’état; however, no one expected it to be led by a small group of young, unknown army officers. American officials in Libya and the United States argued for months over who was in charge of the new government and the direction it would…
Understanding Libya since Gaddafi
During the 17 February Revolution, Libya was awash with foreign journalists; however, media coverage declined after the Gaddafi regime was overthrown. International interest in Libya decreased while threats to foreign journalists grew within a country increasingly chaotic and insecure. Ulf Laessing, Reuters bureau chief for Egypt and Sudan, was one of the few foreign journalists to remain on the ground for significant periods of time in the post-…

Tribe, Islam and state in Libya

The burning shores
The 17 February Revolution which ended the 42-year rule of the Gaddafi regime spawned a welcome new generation of Libyan specialists, and Frederic Wehrey is one of the best of them. He first visited Libya in 2009 as a military officer working at the United States Embassy and, after the revolution ended, he travelled widely throughout the country. Over time, he has developed an unparalleled range of contacts inside and outside Libya. With a solid …
Tribes and global jihadism
Tribes and global jihadism is a welcome contribution to the comparative study of tribes and tribalism in the Arab Muslim world, a subject which has long suffered from limited research and publication. Moreover, many of the contributions to the edited volume focus on areas—like the city of Sirte in Libya, the Lake Chad Basin and the borderland between Egypt and Libya—where very little fieldwork has occurred in recent years. Before, during and afte…
Tribes and states in a changing Middle East
This book is a tribute to the late Joseph Kostiner, long associated with the Department of Middle Eastern and African History at Tel Aviv University, whose passion was the role of tribes and tribalism in state formation in the Middle East. Compiled in mid-2012, a little more than a year into the Arab Spring, this memorial volume suggests that tribes and states in the contemporary Middle East are best approached on a state by state basis, even tho…
Libya in western foreign policies, 1911–2011
Beginning with the Phoenicians and Greeks, external actors have influenced, if not dictated, events in Libya for thousands of years. In Libya in western foreign policies, Saskia Van Genugten ‘traces the history of the bilateral relations between Libya and those western governments most vital to its political and economic development—the United Kingdom, Italy, France, and the United States’ over a much shorter period, arguing that ‘these foreign p…
Return to the shadows
In Return to the shadows, Alison Pargeter assesses the rise and fall of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and Libya and An-Nahda in Tunisia. She is well equipped for the task. A specialist in the Middle East and North Africa with a focus on political Islamist movements, she has published widely, including The new frontiers of jihad: radical Islam in Europe (I. B. Tauris, 2008; reviewed in International Affairs 85: 3), The Muslim Brotherhood: the bu…
Libya's gender wars
In the course of the February 17 Revolution that overthrew the 42-year-old Muammar al-Qaddafi regime, Libyan women played new and unfamiliar roles in a traditionally conservative Muslim society. In post-Qaddafi Libya, women have struggled to retain and grow the rights and responsibilities many of them thought they had won in the course of the revolution. Faced with a conservative backlash that threatens to restrict or deny fundamental rights, Lib…

From the February 17 Revolution to Benghazi
In February 2011, peaceful demonstrations in Benghazi and other Libyan cities in support of additional housing, more jobs, and a better way life quickly turned into demands for regime change after security forces employed deadly force in an effort to subdue the protesters. As the February 17 Revolution unfolded, the better equipped and trained security forces of the Qaddafi regime soon bested inexperienced and poorly armed rebel units, threatenin…

The Changing Libyan Economy
Once the United Nations suspended its sanctions regime in April 1999, Libya began to introduce socioeconomic reforms aimed at liberalizing its economy. Greeted with some skepticism, the liberalization movement gained momentum as Libya first resolved the Lockerbie dispute and then renounced unconventional weapons. Considerable progress was made in the ensuing years; however it was notably uneven, with reform to the oil and gas industry outstrippin…
Redefining the Libyan revolution
On 1 September 1969, the Free Unionist Officers movement, led by Captain Muammar al-Qaddafi, executed a successful coup d'état, overthrowing the monarchical regime that had ruled Libya since independence in 1951. From the outset, Qaddafi articulated a comprehensive, well-thought-out ideology, grounded in the revolutionary trinity of freedom, socialism and unity. For almost two decades, continuity and consistency were the dominant characteristics …
Libya's Oil & Gas Industry
Libyan leader Muammar al-Qaddafi initiated a major change in economic policy in mid-2003 when he called for the privatisation of the oil and gas industry, together with other sectors of the Libyan economy, signalling a move away from the socialist, command economy in place for almost three decades. Tentative steps to open the Libyan economy were taken in the second half of 2003; however, it was the December 2003 Libyan decision to renounce weapon…
Revolution, Reform and Regionalism in Southeast Asia
Based on research carried out over the three decades, this book compares the post-war political economies of Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam in the context of their individual and collective impact on contemporary efforts at regional integration. The author highlights the different paths to reform taken by the three neighbours and the effect this has had on regional plans for economic development through the ASEAN and the Greater Mekong Subregion. Thr…

Libya Is Not Iraq”
The Bush administration quickly claimed full credit for Libyan leader Mu'ammar al-Qadhafi's decision to renounce unconventional weapons, suggesting this reversal in long-standing Libyan policy was a by-product of the war in Iraq. On the contrary, the role of the current administration was one of successfully implementing policies discussed for more than a decade and finally initiated in the latter days of the Clinton administration.

The Ideology of Mu'ammar Al-Qadhdhafi
While the literature on ideology is long-standing and considerable, it is also very controversial. On the one hand, the term ideology remains in such poor repute that many authors apologize for using it or substitute other words or expressions. On the other, many scholars employ the term without definition as though its meaning was well understood

Qaddafi's World Design
Qaddafi's Libya is a small state trying - and failing - to play a world role. This is the thesis of this study of Libyan foreign policy since the 1970s. It looks at Qaddafi's holy war, his stormy relationship with the superpowers, his adventures in Africa and his role in the world of oil

The Boundary Dispute Between Peru and Ecuador
In an article in this Journal some years ago, Professor Georg Maier analyzed the legal cases presented by the Republics of Peru and Ecuador during their long boundary dispute and concluded that the Ecuadorian Government had a much stronger de jure title to the disputed territory, while the Peruvian Government’s claim rested primarily on a strong de facto title. Consequently, he argued that the 1942 Rio Protocol which awarded the Peruvian Governme…
The End of Innocence
From 1919 to 1942, Peruvian foreign policy focused on two interrelated issues: the resolution of Peru's territorial disputes with Chile, Colombia and Ecuador, and the reconciliation of an expanding and deepening relationship with the United States government. The two issues were entwined since the Peruvian government and people, for part of the period, expected the support and assistance of the United States government in resolving the three terr…

New Economic Order in Indochina
T he states of Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam, collectively referred to here as Indochina, have implemented highly significant economic reforms over the last decade. Unfortunately, the origins, scope, sequence, and effects of these changes, though far-reaching, have received limited recognition-and even less support-from the nonsocialist world. The dramatic changes taking place in China, Eastern Europe, and the former Soviet Union captured the atten…
