Libya as a Failed State: Causes, Consequences, Options
This document provides background on Libya's descent into a failed state following its 2011 revolution. It describes the divisions in Libya along ideological, regional and tribal lines that have led to ongoing conflict. It notes that Libya initially showed signs of progress after the revolution, with political and economic development as well as integration of former rebels. However, armed militias increasingly exerted influence and undermined state authority. Competing governments now control parts of Libya, the country is divided, and terrorist groups have gained a foothold. Outside powers have also intervened militially while supporting opposing factions. As a result, Libya meets the criteria of a failed state with no central authority over its territory or monopoly on the use of force.
Libya powerpoint.
Unrest has erupted in Libya led by violent protests against the repressive dictatorship of Muammar al-Gaddafi, who has ruled Libya for over 40 years. Gaddafi has ordered security forces to violently crack down on protesters. The international community has condemned Gaddafi and referred him to the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity. Neighboring countries and the UN have imposed sanctions as hundreds of thousands of refugees flee the violence in Libya.

Struggle In Libya
The document summarizes the events of the Libyan revolution from 2010-2012. It describes how protests began in Benghazi in 2011 as part of the Arab Spring, spreading across Libya against dictator Muammar Gaddafi's 42-year rule. NATO intervened with airstrikes to support rebels as the conflict escalated. Rebels gained control of Tripoli in August 2011 after six months and Gaddafi was killed in October 2011, declaring Libya liberated. However, tensions and violence continued in the following years as Libya transitioned to a new government.
Gaddafi ss history
The document discusses the ongoing conflict in Libya between rebels seeking to end Gaddafi's autocratic rule and Gaddafi's regime. Gaddafi has responded to protests with military force, censorship, and recruiting mercenaries. The rebels have formed a transitional government in Benghazi and fighting continues as Gaddafi refuses to surrender power. UN intervention through a no-fly zone aims to pressure Gaddafi to end the violence against civilians. Perceptions of the conflict differ depending on whether one supports Gaddafi or the rebels.
Libyan civil war
The document discusses unrest in Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya, and provides lessons from the Libyan civil war. It summarizes Libya's background, including its size, population, oil wealth, and GDP. It then discusses the dictatorial and corrupt leadership of Muammar Gaddafi, the dissatisfaction of Libyan citizens with no freedom of speech and high unemployment, and how this led to civil war. Finally, it concludes that dictatorships can face revolution if corruption exists and citizens have no voice, and that governments need supervision systems that allow people's voices to be heard.
Week 2 Quiz Questions[1]
This document contains a quiz with questions about various topics including the Caribbean islands, food production and consumption, great decisions, the sultanate of Oman, and international migration trends. It includes 33 multiple choice questions testing knowledge about the history, culture, and current events related to these regions and topics.
Libyan revolution
Rebels in Libya have advanced toward the capital city of Tripoli. Inspired by the Egyptian revolution, rebels began peaceful protests in February 2011 but clashes became violent as Gaddafi vowed to fight to the last drop of blood. The rebels have since taken control of military bases and cities from government forces. Though the government has tried to stop the rebels' progress with air strikes, rebel morale remains high as they continue their march on Tripoli. The future implications are unclear but the conflict could escalate into a full civil war or inspire further violence in other revolutions.

Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a long-standing dispute over border security, water rights, control of Jerusalem, land rights, and refugee legalities. The roots of the conflict lie in the history of the region but were exacerbated in the 20th century as Jews established the state of Israel after the Holocaust and Palestinians sought a state of their own. Peace negotiations initiated in the 1990s under Clinton showed promise but ultimately stalled.
Conflict And Change In The Middle East
The Middle East region faces significant religious, ethnic, and political divisions that have led to ongoing conflicts. The area contains important natural resources like oil, but limited water supplies that countries disagree over. Governments range from democracies to dictatorships. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict stems from competing claims to the land and Britain's 1917 Balfour Declaration supporting a Jewish homeland. This has resulted in several Arab-Israeli wars over the decades as Palestinians fight for statehood. Civil war has also broken out in Lebanon due to its religious and ethnic diversity. International efforts have pursued a roadmap to peace, but violence continues between Israel and Palestinian groups.

Israel palestine issue
The document summarizes the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict over several key issues such as borders, water rights, and control of Jerusalem. It provides background information on the locations and demographics of Israel and Palestine. While the conflict has religious roots, it intensified in the 20th century under changing foreign influences and powers. Several attempts at peace negotiations over the decades have failed to end the conflict between Jews who founded Israel in 1948 and Palestinians who seek a sovereign state. Armed conflicts over the years have further exacerbated tensions between the two sides.
Arab Israeli Conflict
The document discusses the UN Partition Plan of 1947 which proposed dividing Mandatory Palestine into separate Arab and Jewish states, however Jews accepted the plan while Arabs rejected it, leading to the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. It then provides context around the war and its aftermath, including the creation of over 700,000 Palestinian refugees and how the conflict fueled tensions in the region for decades.

Middle East Conflict
The Arab-Israeli conflict began in the late 19th century with the rise of Zionism and calls for the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine. Tensions escalated after Britain assumed control of Palestine and issued the Balfour Declaration supporting a Jewish state. After the UN partition plan in 1947, war broke out as Arab states opposed the creation of Israel. The conflict has since involved multiple wars, uprisings, and diplomatic efforts towards a two-state solution, but the issues of settlements, Jerusalem status, and Palestinian refugees remain unresolved. Violence and terrorism on both sides continue to undermine peace negotiations.
Palestine in united nations
The document summarizes the history of Palestine from British colonization after World War 1 through current status. It notes that Britain facilitated Jewish immigration and land purchases in Palestine from 1918-1948, though Jews owned just 6.67% of the land by 1948. In 1947, the UN proposed partitioning Palestine into Jewish and Arab states, which Arabs rejected as unfair given they comprised the majority population. After Israel declared independence in 1948, war ensued and Israel acquired 77% of Palestinian land. Palestine has since sought statehood recognition at the UN. While 138 states recognize Palestine, it remains a non-member observer state due to lack of Security Council recommendation required for full UN membership.
LIbya and the Arab Spring
The document provides background information on Libya, Tunisia, and Egypt leading up to the Arab Spring protests in 2011. It outlines key demographic data and timelines of political events for each country, including periods of authoritarian rule, economic struggles, and crackdowns on dissent. The document describes growing unrest in Tunisia and Egypt that ultimately led to the ousting of their long-time leaders, which then inspired protests against Gaddafi's regime in Libya.
Contemporary Issues
The document discusses three powerful women leaders of the 20th century: Golda Meir, Margaret Thatcher, and Indira Gandhi. Some common traits among them were that they were all first female leaders of their respective countries - Meir as Prime Minister of Israel, Thatcher as Prime Minister of Great Britain, and Gandhi as Prime Minister of India. They were also described as strong-willed leaders who took decisive actions. However, they differed in their approaches to foreign policy, with Gandhi aligning more closely with the Soviet Union while Thatcher strongly opposed the USSR and supported the United States instead.

The Cooperation Between George Bush and the Libyan Dictator Qaddafi Against A...
George Bush and Muammar Gaddafi, the dictator of Libya, cooperated against Al-Qaeda after the September 11th attacks in 2001. Previously, Gaddafi had supported terrorist groups and trained terrorists at camps in Libya. However, he did not support Al-Qaeda and issued an Interpol warrant for Osama bin Laden in 1998. After 9/11, Gaddafi provided intelligence to the CIA and MI6 on Libyan Islamic Fighting Group members who had trained in Afghanistan with Al-Qaeda. This cooperation marked a major change, as the US and UK had previously been bitter enemies of Gaddafi's regime. The shared enemy of Islamist extremism facilitated forgiveness of Gaddafi's past support for terrorism.

The League of Nations was formed after World War 1 to promote peace but failed to prevent World War 2. The United Nations was then established with the aims of maintaining international peace and security through peaceful dispute resolution and promoting human rights. Protests first began in Northern Africa like Tunisia and Egypt due to issues of unemployment and poverty, with some citizens setting themselves on fire, and spread to Libya against Colonel Gaddafi. NATO is discussing military options in Libya, like a no-fly zone, while the UN condemned Gaddafi's actions against his own people and many parts of Libya are now out of his control.

The Vietnam War continued despite Nixon's efforts, and the 1973 Oil Crisis had major economic impacts.

Within a few years, most nations moved from multiparty system to one-arty rule; and others to military rule
Little attempt to break down linguistic and tribal barriers
Boundaries of nations were artificial, people didn’t have a common historical experience, and heritage; and so divisions remained
Colonial divisions created to serve colonial interests remained in place; hence conflicts: Nigerian Civil War (1967-1970); Katanga in the Congo (1960-1963); etc.

Collapse of Berlin Wall, and rising expectations, call for National Conference, collapse of many regimes, Kaunda, Hastings, Mobutu, etc.
Economic decline and increasing dependence: countries are heavily dependent on imported goods, limited industrialization translates into heavy importation of manufactured goods
By the mid-1980s, economic decline had near crisis proportion—Decade of lost development
IMF & WB imposed severe conditions on loans: devalue currency, increase in price of staple foods, freeze wages, etc; focus on programs such as Structural Adjustment Program, etc.

Arab uprising
“Civil resistance can force out dictators but isn’t enough to bring people power”

Globalization
This document provides examples of interconnectedness and interdependence in globalization across several topics: multinational corporations and their large economic power; measures of economic activity like GDP and changes over time; international trade agreements like NAFTA and OPEC setting oil prices; worldwide stock market crashes and oil crises affecting many nations; debt and poverty issues especially in the global south; the shift to more women in the workforce; privatization policies promoted by organizations like the World Bank; and the formation of trade alliances like GATT and the WTO to establish global trade rules.
A brief history of liberia
The document provides a historical overview of Liberia from its founding in 1822 by freed American slaves through its civil wars and transition to democracy. It summarizes that Liberia was ruled by Americo-Liberians for over a century until a coup in 1980. This led to authoritarian rule by Samuel Doe until he was killed in 1990, sparking civil wars that lasted until 1997 and involved many factions. Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf was elected in 2005, becoming Africa's first female head of state.
Rejecting the Principles of Liberalism
This document discusses the principles of liberalism and how liberal democracies may choose to reject them during times of conflict or crisis. It analyzes Canada's use of the War Measures Act during World War I, World War II and the October Crisis of 1970 to suspend civil liberties and place citizens in internment camps. While governments argue such actions are necessary to protect society, others see it as an attack on civil rights. The document also examines current Canadian security laws like the Emergencies Act that aim to safeguard rights while addressing threats, but still raise concerns around issues like the no-fly list.
The Arab Spring 3
The Arab Spring began in 2010 as a wave of protests and uprisings across North Africa and the Middle East. It started in Tunisia when a fruit seller set himself on fire after police confiscated his goods, sparking anger against the corrupt government. This led to protests that spread online and grew large enough to overthrow the Tunisian president. Inspired by Tunisia's success, protests erupted in Egypt in 2011 and eventually led to the resignation of Hosni Mubarak after 18 days. As the Arab Spring continued, other countries like Libya faced growing protests, with Gaddafi launching a violent crackdown until the UN authorized international intervention against his forces. The UN sought to promote peace, rights, and development in response, but faced challenges interven
Age of limits and reagan chapter 31 Period 3
After Watergate, Gerald Ford assumed the presidency but was unable to curb inflation or the economic difficulties of the time. His pardon of Nixon hurt his popularity and he lost the 1976 election to Jimmy Carter. Carter emphasized human rights but faced challenges like inflation, fuel shortages, and the Iran hostage crisis. This hurt his reelection bid, which was won by Ronald Reagan in 1980. Reagan implemented conservative policies like tax cuts and military spending increases. He faced challenges like budget deficits and scandals but remained popular. The Cold War began to thaw under Gorbachev's reforms in the Soviet Union. George H. W. Bush succeeded Reagan but faced a recession and the Gulf War during his term.
