This book explores the causes and implications of the Libyan crisis
since the anti-Gaddafi uprisings of 2011 from the perspective of
the EU and NATO. It asks the question of why those organizations
failed to stabilize the country despite the serious challenges
posed by the protracted crisis to European and transatlantic stakes
in the region. This book argues that such failure originated in a
twofold problem common to both organizations: their prioritization
of legitimacy over strategy, and their path dependence - the
insufficient degree of adaptation to meet the different needs of
the crisis. Through a critical and integrated analysis of official
sources and extensive interviews with EU, NATO, UN, and national
government officials and militaries, as well as from NGO personnel,
Libyan institutions and civil society, and media, the volume brings
the perspective of both state and non-state actors to the fore. It
reveals how wrong assumptions and centrifugal forces within the EU
and NATO hampered initiatives, and how the inability to use hard
power judiciously and effectively in an increasingly complex and
multifaceted scenario worsened the crisis. This allowed for
unprecedented influence of regional and global competitors such as
Egypt, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Turkey and Russia in the
richest African country. This book will be of key interest for
scholars and students of Libya and North Africa, NATO, the European
Union, security and conflict studies, Middle East studies,
migration, terrorism, peacebuilding and, more broadly,
international relations.
