Newswise — Now that Libyan rebels have forced Moammar Gadhafi from power and overtaken Tripoli, a Florida State University expert on political transitions is available to answer media questions and provide perspective on these events.
• Eric Wiebelhaus-Brahm, lecturer in international affairs and political science, (850) 645-9743; [email protected] (available by email only until Aug. 30)
Wiebelhaus-Brahm’s research focuses on political transitions, democratization, human rights and post-conflict reconstruction:
“Even though the defeat of Gadhafi appears imminent, the new government will face major challenges in the weeks and months ahead, including reestablishing systems of governance, making constitutional reforms, deciding how to address past abuses, and determining how to deal with Gadhafi and regime loyalists.”
