Algerian diplomacy and its role in resolving international

Abstract

This study provides an analysis of the role of Algerian diplomacy in resolving the Libyan crisis as a primary case study. It aims to explore the theoretical foundations and guiding principles of Algerian foreign policy, such as non-interference and respect for sovereignty, positive neutrality, the primacy of political solutions, and the linkage between national security and diplomatic action. The research also examines the diplomatic mechanisms applied, including bilateral and multilateral mediation, "quiet diplomacy," coordination with regional and international actors (such as the UN, Tunisia, and Egypt), as well as preventive border security measures. The findings indicate that the Algerian approach, based on credibility, inclusivity, and flexibility, contributed to building trust among Libyan parties and creating a conducive environment for dialogue, despite persistent challenges arising from the complexity of the Libyan landscape and external interventions. The study concludes with recommendations to support preventive diplomacy, enhance regional coordination, strengthen unified Libyan institutions, and encourage further comparative academic research on the Algerian mediation model.
