NATO Intervention in Libya: A Humanitarian Success? - ISS Lecture

Public lecture by Associate Professor Alan J. Kuperman, University of Texas at Austin. Western media and politicians typically praise NATO’s 2011 intervention in Libya as a humanitarian success for averting a bloodbath and helping replace the dictatorial regime of Muammar Qaddafi with a transitional council pledged to democracy. Prof. Kuperman compares the actual outcome in Libya to the likely outcome without intervention, based on the best available documentary evidence.
