Why Libya's democratic experiments failed to break the cycle of exclusion
In short: After toppling dictator Muammar Gaddafi, Libya attempted innovative voting methods to ensure fairness. This video explores why these efforts failed to prevent a return to gridlocked politics and what a different approach might achieve.
Following the 'days of rage' that removed Muammar Gaddafi, Libya attempted to build a representative government. One notable attempt was the 'zipper ballot,' an innovative system designed to guarantee equal representation for men and women from opposing political sides.
Despite these efforts, the country fell back into politics defined by dominance and exclusion. Zahra' Langhi suggests that moving past this gridlock requires a shift from competition and rage toward collaboration and compassion.
