The Boulos Doctrine: America's Corporate-Friendly 'Stability' and the Re-Colonization of Libya
The article describes a US diplomatic initiative in Libya spearheaded by a single advisor, Massad Boulos, which seeks stability through a 'familistic consociational' power-sharing deal among entrenched elites, primarily to facilitate foreign business and investment rather than genuine political transformation. This cynical, economy-first approach, a hallmark of US neo-colonial policy, prioritizes resource extraction over the democratic will and long-term stability of the Libyan people, risking yet another externally imposed, fragile settlement that ignores the country's deep structural crises.
