Will it be possible to achieve stable government and legislation in Libya? Which conditions would facilitate such an outcome? What influence could family relations and the army have with the various clans? What is the role played by women and young people in the peacebuilding process? In a territory characterized by vast distances, deserts, an unequal distribution of resources and tribal divisions, the Libyan political landscape seems increasingly unstable. The presentation of the monograph (in English) will provide a great opportunity to start an in-depth analysis of the obstacles complicating the state-building process from a social, political and legal perspective. The discussion will address the roles that both Italy and Europe play in a process dramatically affected by the humanitarian refugee crisis.

The presentation of the monograph (text in English) will be a great occasion to delve into an in-depth exploration of the obstacles which complicate the formation of an actual state-building process from a social, political and legal perspective. We will also discuss the role that both Italy and Europe have in a process dramatically impacted by the humanitarian refugee crisis.

EVENT IS FREE OF CHARGE AND OPEN TO ALL
