David Cameron’s Foreign Policy On The UK’s Involvement In The Libyan Uprising Through Operation Ellamy (2011)
The case of Libyan uprising back in 2011 had attracted a huge attention from international community. Following the rise of the phenomenon of the Arab Spring in the region of MENA, the peaceful demonstration in Libya had turned into a protracted civil war in a matter of weeks between the rebels and the authoritarian regime of Gaddafi. What make the case of Libyan uprising different from the previous uprisings in its neighborhood were a higher escalation, a bigger number of risks and casualties, and a wider international response from various actors. The case of Libyan uprising was special because it had proposed UNSCR 1973 that had invited international community to take “all necessary measures” and imposed a “No-Fly Zone” in order to protect civilians from mass atrocities.
The UK was one of the most vocal players in the case of Libyan uprising to welcome and respond the legal “invitation” from the UNSCR 1973. Its involvement in the Libyan uprising had started with the making of the draft of the UNSCR 1973 proposed by PM David Cameron and the approval from the UK parliament. The UK had contributed a huge amount of humanitarian assistance and involved in the military intervention through its – so called – operation Ellamy which later engaged with its NATO allies and partners.
This thesis aims to provide a detail – yet – systematic analysis on PM David Cameron’s foreign policy in the Libyan uprising through operation Ellamy. This thesis examines the input – process – output of the UK’s foreign policy decision making in response to the Libyan uprising by using a paradigmatic approach of Neoliberalism, a theoretical approach of the Two Level Games, and a conceptual approach of Responsibility to Protect (R2P). This thesis find out that the UK had found an “urgency” to get involved in the Libyan uprising to rescue the British nationals and also a factor of historical “sentiment” over its relation with Gaddafi. This thesis also examines the challenges and lesson learned from the UK’s involvement in the Libyan uprising through the deployment of British operation Ellamy.
Key Words : Libyan Uprising, UK’s Foreign Policy, Operation Ellamy.
Bibliography : 26 Books (1943-2015), 35 Journals, Documents, and Reports (1974- 2013), 114 Articles and Websites (1969-2015).
