From Zero-sum to Positive Sum: Cultivating Political Settlement and Reform in Libya

Abstract

In this commentary, we advocate for a comprehensive framework to address the political, economic, and social challenges facing Libya. The proposal draws a clear roadmap that begins with establishing trust and extending the authority of the government across the Libyan territory. As the waters get muddied with poorly conceived political proposals, the project advocated for in this commentary stands out as a genuine, empirically-based framework toward a solution for the Libyan crisis.
