metadata.value: While considering the factors that contributed to the downfall of the Gaddafi regime the scholars
  of the Arab Spring events in Libya mainly focus on the domestic or international dimensions of the
  conflict and neglect the fallacies of Gaddafi’s foreign policy that resulted in his international isolation
  from the very outset of the Libyan crisis. Breaking away from this pattern the article analyses the
  bilateral relations of Libya with the USA, the UK, France, Italy, Switzerland, the Persian Gulf countries
  and member-states of the African Union focusing on the practices that led to the conflicts between
  Gaddafi and the leaderships of these countries. The author concludes that Gaddafi’s unpredictable,
  inconsistent and eccentric foreign policy greatly contributed to the consolidation of an international
  consensus in favour of the direct foreign military intervention in the conflict that ended up in Gaddafi’s
  ousting from power. Refs. 33.
