Abstract

Since the end of the revolution that toppled the rule of Muammar Qaddafi in October 2011, Libya has never known peace. The country descended into civil war with different factions contending for control. In this milieu, the United Nations attempted to mediate an end to the crisis but its efforts have failed to gain traction partly as a result of other mediation initiatives undertaken by several European actors. Sub-regional and continental organizations, including the Arab Maghreb Union (AMU) and the African Union (AU) respectively, that should have taken the lead in the mediation have been absent. Meanwhile, continued fighting has hampered a mediated settlement, and terrorist groups such as the Islamic State (IS) and al-Qaeda have taken advantage of the situation to establish a presence in the country. In the end, rather than ending the crisis, Libya has provided the ground for competing mediation processes which have prolonged the crisis.
后卡扎菲时代利比亚政治危机中相互竞争的调解
自2011年10月推翻穆阿迈尔·卡扎菲统治的革命结束以来,利比亚从未经历过和平。这个国家陷入了不同派系争夺控制权的内战。在这种情况下,联合国试图通过调解结束危机,但其努力未能取得进展,部分原因是几个欧洲行动者采取了其他调解倡议。包括阿拉伯马格里布联盟(AMU)和非洲联盟(AU)在内的次区域和大陆组织本应在调解中发挥主导作用,但却缺席。与此同时,持续的战斗阻碍了调解解决,伊斯兰国(IS)和基地组织等恐怖组织利用这一局势在该国建立了存在。最终,利比亚非但没有结束危机,反而为相互竞争的调解进程提供了基础,从而延长了危机。

期刊介绍: International Negotiation: A Journal of Theory and Practice examines negotiation from many perspectives, to explore its theoretical foundations and to promote its practical application. It addresses the processes of negotiation relating to political, security, environmental, ethnic, economic, business, legal, scientific and cultural issues and conflicts among nations, international and regional organisations, multinational corporations and other non-state parties. Conceptually, the Journal confronts the difficult task of developing interdisciplinary theories and models of the negotiation process and its desired outcome.
