Description

Libya's Fragmentation Structure and Process in Violent Conflict by Wolfram Lacher explores the dramatic breakdown of centralized power in Libya since 2011. The country has been plagued by internal division and political fragmentation, with numerous local factions vying for control. Lacher challenges widely held assumptions about the role of Libya's tribes in the revolution, instead highlighting how war transformed pre-existing social structures. He also examines why Khalifa Haftar has been able to consolidate his power over eastern Libya. This book offers a new approach to understanding civil wars, focusing on the social ties of actors and their link to violent conflict. Based on hundreds of interviews with key actors in the conflict, Lacher provides a nuanced analysis of the forces that have shaped Libya's trajectory since 2011.
