AI-generated Abstract
The paper examines the complex dynamics of decentralization in Libya following the Arab Spring, particularly in light of recent international conferences aimed at resolving the ongoing conflict. It highlights the continued influence of external actors and the fragmentation within Libyan political factions, as well as the challenges posed by military interventions and historical rivalries among local groups. Key findings suggest that external interventions threaten the fragile balance of power in Libya, while tribal affiliations and past loyalties significantly influence the current political landscape.
