New Chapter: Extractive Resource Protection in Libya - The Challenge of Reforming and Supporting the Petroleum Facilities Guard

One important clause of Libya’s 2020 ceasefire agreement was the reform of the country’s Petroleum Facilities Guard.

 I delve into the substantial challenges to that goal in my new chapter, "Extractive Resource Protection in Libya - The Challenge of Reforming and Supporting the Petroleum Facilities Guard," contained within the DCAF compendium The Road To Stability: Rethinking SSR in Post Conflict Libya. 

The chapter looks at the evolution of Libya's PFG, details its current structure and operational challenges, and assesses the impediments and opportunities for reform.

The compendium, and information on the launch event, is available here.

New Chapter: Communities and Crime Wars

Happy to announce the publication of the chapter "Communities and crime wars," in the Routledge Handbook of Smuggling.

Written with colleagues Tuesday Reitano and Siria Gastélum Félix, the chapter details how communities & individuals in a variety of countries have sought to recover from & build resilience to criminal conflicts.

The entire compendium, edited by the ever brilliant Dr. Max Gallien and Florian Weigand, is open access and available here: https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/oa-edit/10.4324/9781003043645/routledge-handbook-smuggling-max-gallien-florian-weigand
