Paper
The Turkish Strategy in Libya: Ambitions, Challenges, and Limits. The Foreign Policy Evolution of a Regional Power
by Mohamed Badine El Yattioui, Mohamed Badine El Yattioui,
This paper analyzes the ambitions, challenges and limits of the contemporaneous Turkish strategy in Libya. The North African country has faced a state of insecurity, close to anarchy, since the NATO intervention that led, first to the fall of the Gaddafi regime (1969-2011), and then to his death. The objective of this research is to understand about the role that Turkey wants to play in this country and the evolution of its foreign policy in the last years. Through the Libyan context, it is possible to analyze the possible ambitions of the Turkish government as a hegemonic power and the risky implications it may have. Turkey is facing many strategic challenges (economy, energy and military) with an important geopolitical impact. Its new role in Libya is ambitious and risky, for various reasons we will try to explain.
