This book explores 'lessons learned' from the military intervention
in Libya by examining key aspects of the 2011 NATO campaign. NATO's
intervention in Libya had unique features, rendering it unlikely to
serve as a model for action in other situations. There was an
explicit UN Security Council mandate to use military force, a
strong European commitment to protect Libyan civilians, Arab League
political endorsement and American engagement in the critical,
initial phase of the air campaign. Although the seven-month
intervention stretched NATO's ammunition stockpiles and political
will almost to their respective breaking points, the definitive
overthrow of the Gaddafi regime is universally regarded as a major
accomplishment. With contributions from a range of key thinkers and
analysts in the field, the book first explains the law and politics
of the intervention, starting out with deliberations in NATO and at
the UN Security Council, both noticeably influenced by the concept
of a Responsibility to Protect (R2P). It then goes on to examine a
wide set of military and auxiliary measures that governments and
defence forces undertook in order to increasingly tilt the balance
against the Gaddafi regime and to bring about an end to the
conflict, as well as to the intervention proper, while striving to
keep the number of NATO and civilian casualties to a minimum. This
book will be of interest to students of strategic studies, history
and war studies, and IR in general.
