Abstract

Uluslararası rekabet alanları ve güç kapasitesinin oluşumları incelendiğinde, Kuzey Afrika bölgesinin uluslararası çatışmaların merkezinde yer aldığı ve küresel rekabetin etkileriyle yeniden dizayn edildiği görülmektedir. Bununla birlikte, Libya gibi Orta Doğu ve Kuzey Afrika ülkelerini kasıp kavuran iç savaşlar, Arap rejimlerinin ve kurumsal sistemleri çok zayıf olan otokratik hükümetlerin ani gelişen halk hareketlerine karşı savunmasız olduğu gerçeğini ortaya çıkarmıştır. Ülke, Kaddafi rejiminin çöküşünden bu yana ciddi bir siyasi istikrarsızlığa ve sivil kargaşaya sürüklenmiştir. 2014 yılında ikinci Libya iç savaşı olarak da adlandırılan çok taraflı iç savaşın başlamasının ardından Libya, doğu ve batı hükümetleri olarak ikiye bölünmüştür. Buna ek olarak, Afrika Birliği ve Arap Birliği’nin kendi sorumluluk alanlarında meydana gelen krizlere etkin bir şekilde yanıt verecek kapasiteye sahip olmadıkları görülmektedir. Bu çalışmada bölgesel örgütlerin Libya'nın güvenlik sorunlarının çözümünde ne kadar etkili oldukları hususu incelenerek mevcut durum ortaya konmuştur. Bununla birlikte, çatışma yönetimi kapasitelerini geliştirmek için uygulanabilir stratejilerin gerekliliği hakkında bir değerlendirme de sunulmaktadır.

Effectiveness of Regional Organisations in Solving Security Problems of North Africa: The Libyan Civil War (2011-2022)

Abstract

When the international competition areas and formations of power projections are examined, it is seen that the North Africa region is at the center of international conflicts and is being redesigned by the effects of the global rivalry. Besides, the civil wars that swept through and shattered the Middle East and North African countries such as Libya have demonstrated the reality that the Arab regimes and autocratic governments with very weak institutional systems are vulnerable to sudden popular events. The country has been slided into a serious political instability and civil turmoil ever since the collapse of the Gaddafi regime. After the begining of the multi-sided civil war in 2014, which is also called the second Libyan civil war, Libya has been divided into two parts as the eastern and western governments. It is also seen that the African Union and the Arab League don’t have enough capacity to respond effectively to the crises that occurred in their area of responsibility. In this study, the current situation has been revealed by examining how effective the regional organizations are in solving security problems of Libya. In addition to this, an evaluation is also presented about the necessity of viable strategies for developing their conflict management capacities.
