Abstract

Libya has been in continuous civil conflict with varying intensity since the Arab uprisings in 2011. It has suffered from recurrent cycles of social, political, security and economic crises, each reinforcing one another. State institutions and the economy have weakened thus facilitating fragmentation, disunity and dysfunction, creating fertile grounds for violence and a war-driven economy. The regional and international powers have been adding to the complexities of the conflict and the difficulties of its resolving. Against this background, this paper aims to analyze the social, political and economic dynamics of Libya from the local to the regional and international levels since the start of the uprisings, and understand the interplay between these forces. It aims to look at three issues: (1) the underlying causes of conflict, (2) why the conflict has sustained and (3) the political and economic agenda for post-conflict reconstruction. In other words, it aims to bring forward an inclusive agenda of peace-building and economic reconstruction, in line with the dynamics of the country.
