Synopsis
An Atlantic Council report published in May 2014 which examines the threats to Libya's stability, provides a detailed mapping of the militia landscape, and details policy options for the Libyan government and its international partners. In "Libya's Faustian Bargains: Breaking the Appeasement Cycle", Jason Pack, Karim Mezran, and Mohamed Eljarh attribute Libya's cycle of violence, intractable political stalemate, and weakened economy to the Libyan authorities' continued policy of appeasing opponents. The report , authored by Cambridge University researcher Jason Pack, Atlantic Council Senior Fellow Karim Mezran, and ForeignPolicy.com's Mohamed Eljarh, identifies the strategic weakness of post-Qaddafi governments that have appeased political actors and militias for short-term support and stability. The authors lay blame squarely on the post-Qaddafi authorities for failing to urgently tackle the country's dire economic, political, and security challenges, yet acknowledge the unique tribal and regional structures that complicate such efforts. The report also outlines policy recommendations for a new Libyan government (once it is installed), transitional bodies, and the country's Western and regional allies.
