Aref Nayed delivered a lecture at Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service and the Center for Contemporary Arab Studies on revolutionary and constitutional legitimacy in Libya. His lecture was a philosophical/political reflection on the situation in Libya today.
Exploring architectonic and structural sources of tension that have led to a multiplicity of crises, his lecture advances a set of possible remedies and solutions. The notions and realities of ‘revolutionary’ and ‘constitutional’ legitimacy are approached theoretically and pragmatically. The lecture concluded with an outline of a ‘Libya Disaster Recovery Plan’ aimed at stabilization and national thriving.
