"Libya as a War-Torn State, principal causes and consequences of the Libyan 2011 Civil War; Rethinking the Concept of State Failure". BA Thesis, John Cabot University, Rome, Italy. 2017.https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14490/928Thesis (B.A. in Political Science)--John Cabot University, Spring 2017.The aim of this thesis is to identify, by using a theoretical framework, Libya’s current state and to dissect the principal variables which amount to its political and economic involution. Furthermore, this thesis examines Libya in the context state failure. After the fall of the Gadhafi regime, the whole system was destabilized. For this reason, the aftermath of 2011 NATO intervention has been analyzed. Social havoc, tribal tensions, and the demise of the political and economic institutions characterize Libya’s current state and can be considered as the major sources for its instability, and perilous state. Even though six years have passed since the civil war, Libya is still encumbered by the consequences of the fall of its Qa’id. The formation of two governments, the takeover of major oil production facilities by militias and other armed groups, and tribes which continue to strive for power are significant indicators that conflict has remained. Libya’s a war-torn state, with very limited power to manage its affairs.46 pagesenLibyan Civil War (2011)Thesis
