HERNANDEZ-OSPINA, Álvaro Javier  and  GARCIA-PERILLA, Juan Carlos. The crisis in Libya and its effects on the Sahel región. Rev. Crim. [online]. 2020, vol.62, n.1, pp.133-148. ISSN 1794-3108.

The following article analyzes from the classical security perspective the evolution of Libya’s foreign policy during the era of Muammar Gaddafi , characterized at the beginning as being a constant threat of war, to become the main stability factor of the Sahel region before his fall. From this point we examine the consequences that, in terms of security, occurred in the region following the demise of the Libyan leader and the risk factors that increase its vulnerability, given the chaotic situation in the North African country, added to the Western military intervention in Libya, which deepens the violence situation by not allowing the reconfi guration of a strong central authority.

Keywords : Terrorism; intervention; threats (source: Thesaurus of Latin American Criminal Policy - ILANUD) Libya; regional security; civil war; organized crime.
