Can federalism bring stability to Libya? A decentralized, federalist approach could help build stability, but the international community will likely insist on repeating past mistakes. This was a major shift: Until that point, Libya had two political governments, two military commands, and two different administrations. Without robust institutions, Libya will continue to flounder in conflict. Such scenarios remain unlikely, however, since they require a paradigm shift that is one step too far for many Western leaders and those at the top of international institutions.
