He is author of Libya since Independence: oil and State-building and editor of Qadhafi's Libya, 1969-1994, and he has long been recognized as one of preeminent scholars of contemporary Libya. A History of Modern Libya, based on considerable field research, enhances Vandewalle's reputation as an informed, sensitive, and nuanced observer. That said, book is not what its title suggests to be. In lieu of providing history of modern Libya, as author readily admits in his introduction, book can perhaps more accurately be described as social and political economy study of country (p. 9). be precise, is largely an examination of political economy of 20th century Libya with an emphasis on post-1969 Qadhafi era. The early history of Libya, from Phoenician, Greek, and Roman times through almost four centuries of Ottoman occupation is treated in cursory manner, and there is almost no discussion of rich social, cultural, and intellectual history of modern-day Libya. The core argument of book, developed and expanded in each chapter, is that rulers of Libya, from colonial to modern times, have avoided the process of state-building that normally includes steady expansion of administrative reach of state, as well as growing incorporation of local citizens in that process. Even today, author continues, it remains problematic to consider its people truly as citizens. Despite his rhetoric, Qadhafi tends to view them more as personal subjects, doing little to create confidence in more impersonal institutions of modern state. To that extent, Qadhafi regime shows remarkable continuity with monarchy that preceded it, creating a political system that will face considerable challenges in future (p. 1). This is powerful thesis that Vandewalle argues well. In process, he adds much to our understanding of Libya, especially its political system. In one section, for example, he explores Qadhafi regime's successful use of myths and symbols to bridge gap between formal political structures outlined in The Green Book and reality of an exclusionary political system. …" @default.
