  • For the Award Of
    UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN QUEENSLAND DEVELOPING AND FRAMING WATER POLICY FOR SUSTAINABLE WATER SECURITY IN AGRICULTURE IN THE JEFARA REGION OF LIBYA A dissertation submitted by: Abdulmagid Mohamed Abdudayem For the award of: Doctor of Philosophy School of Commerce Faculty of Business, Education, Law & Arts University of Southern Queensland Australia 2013 ABSTRACT Water sustainability is a priority issue for Libya. The country has limited water supplies, a problem compounded by the increasing demands of population growth. This research examines the challenges faced by policymakers in formulating effective water resource management strategies in agriculture and the potential impact of these policies upon farmer viability with the purpose of ensuring sustainable water security in agriculture in the Jefara Plain region of Libya. In response to the research problem, the research question was defined as: How can farmers and policymakers engage with each other to understand the key issues to facilitate more sustainable water policy? The research objectives were to examine current Libyan water institutional frameworks and water management policies and investigate the interrelationship and engagement of the major stakeholders. The study was aimed at exploring the potential to improve water use efficiency in agriculture in the Jefara region and provide insights into how water saving and a more efficient water policy framework could improve water sustainability. A qualitative research design with grounded theory methodology was chosen to explore the views of the participants in relation to sustainable water security in agriculture in the Jefara region of Libya. The information gathered from interviews and observations was classified, abstracted and interpreted, and compared to secondary data and the literature to develop a model firmly grounded in the data.

  • En Imperialistisk Seger Är Inte Ett Framsteg För Det Libyska Upproret
    1 Jeff Mackler: En imperialistisk seger är inte ett framsteg för det libyska upproret [Artikel skriven å politiska kommitténs vägnar i den amerikanska organisationen Socialist Actions tidning, september 2011. Här översatt från www.internationalviewpoint.org.] Tragiskt nog omvandlades Libyens kortlivade arabiska vår i februari 2011 snabbt till ett sex månader långt imperialistlett våldsamt angrepp som vållade det libyska folket död och ödeläggelse. Den resolution 1973 om ”flygförbudszon” som antogs av FN:s säkerhetsråd den 17 mars följdes omedelbart av mer än 20.000 och fortfarande pågående flygangrepp av USA/NATO-flygplan mot den libyske diktatorn överste Muammar Gaddafis styrkor. De kompletterades av angrepp med mål- robotar och artilleribombardemang från NATO:s armada som samlades på ett franskt hangarfartyg som hade ankrat utanför Libyens kust. FN:s resolution om ”flygförbudszon” var bara ett tillstånd för att fullständigt tillintetgöra Libyens militärapparat och en stor del av Tripolis infrastruktur – inklusive dess tillgångar av vatten och bränsle, elektricitet, skolor, sjukhus och bostadsområden – och var en europeisk och amerikansk krigsförklaring. ”Humanitära krig” som förs av världens supermakter kommer aldrig att vara till nytta för de förtryckta massorna i Libyen eller någon annanstans. Under angreppet mot Tripoli under krigets sista dagar smulades Gaddafis uppskattningsvis 65.000 soldater sönder av intensiva flyg- och sjöbombningar som NATO:s befälhavare uppskattar har ”brutit ner” – det vill säga dödat, sårat eller skingrat – omkring 50% av hans trupper. Resten tros ha dragit sig tillbaka till libyska städer och småstäder som fortfarande stöder Gaddafi-regimen. Dessa bombas idag ostraffat. Det uppskattas att det antal Gaddafi-soldater som dödats på fläcken på en enda dag under de inten- siva bombningarna i slutet av augusti var fler än 1.300.

  • Las Primaveras Árabes: La Influencia De Qatar Y Sus Relaciones Con Los Estados Del Golfo
    Revista UNISCI / UNISCI Journal, Nº 39 (Octubre / October 2015) LAS PRIMAVERAS ÁRABES: LA INFLUENCIA DE QATAR Y SUS RELACIONES CON LOS ESTADOS DEL GOLFO Alberto Priego1 UNISCI / Universidad Pontificia Comillas Resumen: Las Primaveras Árabes han supuesto el fin de la influencia Occidental en el Norte de África y Oriente Medio. Hasta el 2011 la UE y Estados Unidos eran actores influyentes en la región. El fracaso de las Primaveras Árabes ha permitido la entrada de otros actores, concretamente de los estados del Golfo Pérsico. Qatar y Arabia Saudí han visto la oportunidad de convertirse en potencias regionales con capacidad de influir. Sin embargo, la ventana de oportunidad ha provocado una competición entre Doha y Riad que pugnan por convertirse en los líderes regionales. Palabras clave: Qatar, Arabia Saudí, Primavera Árabe, Unión Europea, Hermanos Musulmanes. Title in English: "The Arab Springs: Qatar´s Influence and its Relations with the Gulf States" Abstract: The Arab Springs have been the end of the Western influence in North Africa and the Middle East. Until 2011 the EU and the United States were strong influential actors in the region. The failure of the Arab Spring has allowed the entry of other actors, particularly the Gulf states. Qatar and Saudi Arabia have seen the opportunity to become regional powers capable of exerting influence in this area. However, the window of opportunity has led to a competition between Doha and Riyadh, both wanting to become the regional leaders. Keywords: Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Arab Spring, European Union, Muslim Brotherhood. Copyright © UNISCI, 2015.

  • Imperialist Victory Is No Gain for Libyan People
    Imperialist Victory Is No Gain For Libyan People https://internationalviewpoint.org/spip.php?article2274 Libya Imperialist Victory Is No Gain For Libyan People - Debate - Problems of the Arab and Middle East regions - Publication date: Sunday 4 September 2011 Copyright © International Viewpoint - online socialist magazine - All rights reserved Copyright © International Viewpoint - online socialist magazine Page 1/9 Imperialist Victory Is No Gain For Libyan People This article by Jeff Mackler for the Political Committee of Socialist Action appears in the September 2011 edition of Socialist Action newspaper. Tragically, LibyaâEuros"s short-lived February 2011 Arab Spring was rapidly transformed into a six-month imperialist-led onslaught that wrought death and destruction on the Libyan people. The âEurosoeno fly zoneâEuros Resolution 1973, approved 10-0 by the UN Security Council on March 17, was immediately followed by more than 20,000, and still ongoing, sorties by U.S./NATO warplanes against the forces of the Libyan dictator, Col. Muammar Gadhafi. These were complemented by drone strikes and artillery bombardments from NATOâEuros"s armada, centered on a French aircraft carrier anchored off LibyaâEuros"s coast. The UN âEurosoeno-fly zoneâEuros resolution, never more than a license for the wholesale destruction of LibyaâEuros"s military apparatus and much of TripoliâEuros"s infrastructureâEuros"including its water and fuel supplies, electricity, schools, hospitals, and residential neighborhoodsâEuros"was a Euro-American declaration of war. âEurosoeHumanitarian warsâEuros conducted by the world's superpowers will never benefit the oppressed masses in Libya or anywhere else. In the assault on Tripoli in the last days of the war, GadhafiâEuros"s estimated 65,000 troops were pulverized by an intensive air and sea bombing campaign that NATO commanders estimate to have âEurosoedegradedâEuros âEuros"that is, killed, wounded, or scatteredâEuros"some 50 percent of his forces.
