AB Seven years after the Arab Spring and the fall of Qadaffi, Libya stands as a singular case of fragmentation,  confrontation and violence. Libya constitutes an ungoverned space, defined by the dynamic and interdependent confluence of three different and twisted scenarios where multiple and diverse actors, with competing interests, fight for power, influence and resources to impose their respective objectives in the absence of state structures. One scenario of internal violence and fragmentation with two rival coalitions controlling different territories; a second scenario dominated by transnational trends and forces that generate complex and interlinked transnational networks of different nature—criminal, terrorist, even humanitarian—with significant power and influence to drag the external intervention of powerful regional and extra-regional actors in order to protect and impose their particular national security visions and interests in a context of unstable and precarious balance of power, conforming, thus, the third scenario, defined by the convergence of simultaneous proxy conflicts.

NO This book tries to offer a distinctive focus and study on North Africa and Sahel, creating a new space to analyze the challenges and threats dynamics in the area, his consequences and the responses (mainly coming from his main neighborhood, that is, Europe). The project comes as a convergence point of several research and working groups work in a multidimensional approach although putting emphasis in a different approaches, strategically and functionally. That is, creating a different regional focus, The Greater Maghreb, and trying to analyze the dynamics in this distinctive area through the synergies creates among terrorism and transnational organized crime, and some of his consequences. From this point of view, the book focus on the EU approach toward the area, analyzing critically his problems
