SUMMARY:The 2011 Libyan Uprisings\, the Ascendancy of the Periphery\, and 
 Enduring Patterns in Libyan History - Jason Pack (St. Catharine's)

UID:TALK37760@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Ilya Berkovich
DESCRIPTION:The 2011 Libyan Uprisings differed from those in Egypt and Tun
 isia by arising in and being dominated by the periphery. Jason Pack was on
  the ground in Libya immediately after the fall of Tripoli and has since t
 raced the progress of post-Qadhafi Libya as a journalist\, academic\, and 
 adviser to policy makers in the UK and US. \nHis talk will examine how spe
 cific historical factors at play in Libyan society combined with dynamics 
 unleashed by the NATO-imposed No-Fly Zone fostered the creation of local m
 ilitary and political organisations in the Libyan periphery disconnected f
 rom the rebels' centre of power -- the National Transitional Council. This
  talk will stress how the current 'ascendancy of the periphery' and result
 ing 'statelessness' are deeply rooted in Libyan History.
