Unheard voices of the next generation : emergent leaders in Libya

Libya is a dynamic country with a rich and turbulent history that goes far beyond present conflicts.

Its people have long fought for freedom and self-government.

This publication offers a framework for understanding the pursuit of this progress.

The chapters herein presents Libya as seen by a next generation of leaders, ready to build peaceful, democratic, and inclusive institutions.

Using events in Libya's recent history as a guide (the establishment of the United Kingdom of Libya under King Idris in 1951; the establishment of the Libyan Arab Republic under Gaddafi in 1969; and the struggle for unity following the 2011 February 17th Revolution), the authors envisage a better future for Libya, one in which the light of hard-fought liberty is preserved for generations to come.

Through the insights of professionals and experts, above all new Libyan voices, this volume is testament of a bright and secured future for a beautiful and compelling country.
