  • Bogdan SZAJKOWSKI*
    Alternative Politics, Vol.3, No.3, 256-419, November 2011 256 TIMELINE OF THE ARAB REVOLT: DECEMBER 2010 – JUNE 2011 Bogdan SZAJKOWSKI* December 17, 2010 Tunisia - Mohamed Bouazizi, a 26-year-old unemployed, sets fire to himself in the central Tunisian town of Sidi Bouzid, protesting at the confiscation by police of his fruit and vegetable cart. He suffers third-degree burns across his entire body and is subsequently treated in the Traumatology Centre for Severe Burns in the town of Ben Arous. His self-immolation sparks demonstrations in which protesters burned tyres and chanted slogans demanding jobs. Protests soon spread to other parts of the country including the towns of al-Ragab and Maknasi in central Tunisia, and later the capital, Tunis. Videos of the Sidi Bouzid demonstrations are online soon after the protest began and the Twitter website carries extensive commentary of the protests. December 19, 2010 Tunisia - Protests spread to Kairouan (holy city located in north-central Tunisia), Sfax (city 270 km southeast of Tunis), and Ben Guerdane (town in south-eastern Tunisia, close to the border with Libya). December 20, 2010 Tunisia - Mohamed Al Nouri Al Juwayni, the Tunisian development minister, travels to Sidi Bouzid to announce a new $10m employment programme. But protests continue unabated. December 21, 2010 Tunisia - President Ben Ali carries out limited cabinet reshuffle and warns that protesters would be punished if rioting continued in the country. December 22, 2010 Tunisia - Lahseen Naji, a 22-year-old commits suicide in the midst of another demonstration over unemployment in Sidi Bouzid by climbing an electricity pylon and electrocuting himself on the cables, after shouting out ―No to misery, no to unemployment!‖ 257 Bogdan Szajkowski Ramzi Al-Abboudi, under the burden of business debt, ironically made possible by the country‘s micro-credit solidarity programme, commits suicide.

    Anarchy’s Anatomy: Two-Tiered Security Systems and Libya’s Civil Wars Marc R. DeVorea* and Armin Stählib aSchool of International Relations, University of St Andrews, United Kingdom; bCentre for Security, Economics and Technology (C SET), University of St.Gallen, Switzerland *Correspondence details of corresponding author: School of International Relations, Arts Building The Scores, St Andrews, United Kingdom, E-Mail: [email protected]. Marc R. DeVore is a Lecturer at the School of International Relations, University of St Andrews, UK. In the past, he has served as a Jean Monnet Fellow at the European University Institute, a Senior Research Fellow at the University of St.Gallen, and an Adviser to the President Ange- Felix Patassé of the Central African Republic. His past research has benefited from support from the Fulbright Program, Harvard's Center for European Studies, and the French government's Chateaubriand Fellowship Program. Armin Stähli is an Affiliate at the Centre for Security, Economics and Technology (C SET), University of St.Gallen. His research interests lie at the intersection of security studies and international legal theory, focusing on the role of violent non-state actors in international relations. 1 Anarchy’s Anatomy: Two-Tiered Security Systems and Libya’s Civil Wars No issue deserves more scrutiny than the mechanisms whereby popular unrest unleashes civil wars. We argue that one institution—two-tiered security systems— are particularly pernicious in terms of the accompanying civil war risk. These systems’ defining characteristic is the juxtaposition of small communally stacked units that protect regimes from internal adversaries with larger regular armed forces that deter external opponents.

    Politique Internationale - La Revue 16/10/2018 0924 POLITIQUE INTERNATIONALE N° 133 - AUTOMNE 2011 LIBYE : LES DEFIS DE L'APRES-KADHAFI Article deJean-Pierre FILIU Mouammar Kadhafi n'aura pas fêté au pouvoir le 42e anniversaire de son coup d'État du 1er septembre 1969. Cette date - le « Fateh » selon la terminologie du régime - donnait lieu en Libye à une surenchère dans le culte de la personnalité du « Guide de la Révolution ». Mais, ce 1er septembre 2011, Tripoli et Benghazi, Misrata et Nalout l'auront vécu débarrassées du dictateur, mêlant la célébration de la liberté retrouvée aux réjouissances de la fin du Ramadan. Ce même 1er septembre 2011, Paris accueillait, sous la co-présidence de Nicolas Sarkozy et de David Cameron, une « conférence internationale de soutien à la Libye nouvelle » à laquelle participaient 63 délégations de haut niveau, ainsi que le secrétaire général de l'ONU et le président du Conseil national de transition (CNT), Moustafa Abdeljalil. À l'issue de cette rencontre, les délégations se sont déclarées « convaincues que le peuple libyen et ses autorités parviendront à relever les immenses défis qui les attendent » et ont fait part de leur « volonté de se tenir à leurs côtés pour les aider à les relever » (1). Cet engagement international en faveur de la « Libye nouvelle » s'affirmait quelques jours seulement après la chute de Tripoli aux mains de l'insurrection. Avant même la mort du tyran renversé, le 20 octobre, l'ère Kadhafi était déjà close : sa famille et ses partisans étaient dispersés ou exilés ; l'ONU, la Ligue arabe et l'Union africaine avaient toutes offert le siège libyen au CNT.

Quella che dai media di tutto il mondo è stata chiamata la “primavera araba” ebbe inizio ufficialmente il 17 dicembre 2010 a Tunisi, dove un venditore ambulante per protesta contro il sequestro della sua merce si diede fuoco, portando all’attenzione di tutto il mondo la grande situazione di disagio che vivevano i ragazzi arabi.

  • Governance in North Africa Following the Uprisings in 2011-2012
    GOVERNING UNCERTAINTY: THE FIRST PROVISIONAL ADMINISTRATIONS IN TUNISIA AND LIBYA FOLLOWING THE UPRISINGS IN 2011-2012 By Sabina Henneberg A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland February, 2017 Abstract This dissertation examines the actors, institutions and strategies that characterized the first provisional administrations (the governing structures in place from anti-authoritarian uprisings to first elections) in Tunisia and Libya in 2011-2012. It explores two central research questions. First, to what extent are first provisional administrations shaped by pre-existing structures, and to what extent are actors able to shape them? Second, to what extent do first provisional administrations impact the phases of political change that follow them? The results are based on interviews with Tunisians and Libyans and a wide array of secondary sources, including books, journal articles, and reports by international organizations. The dissertation argues that the two first provisional administrations were largely shaped by pre-existing institutions. In addition, the distinct choices made by actors in both— while also constrained by pre-existing institutions—had important effects on later phases of post-authoritarian governance. A comparison of the actors, institutions and strategies of the first provisional administrations in Tunisia and Libya show that, in fact, Libya’s building of democratic institutions was more profoundly challenged than Tunisia’s even before the first transfer of power via the ballot box. Committee members: Dr. Peter Lewis, Dr. William Zartman, Dr. Karim Mezran, Dr. Eva Bellin, and Dr. Jennifer Seely ii Acknowledgments I owe sincere thanks to each member of my dissertation committee: Peter Lewis, William Zartman, Karim Mezran, Eva Bellin, and Jennifer Seely, for their support and guidance.
