Efforts to establish a post-Qaddafi order will set the scene for years to come. The National Transitional Council will probably keep its promise to establish an inclusive, elected government, but the way will not be smooth and delivery may be late. Much will depend on satisfying competing regional, sectarian and ideological demands of the revolution’s many stakeholders. The economy will recover half the 25% of output it lost during the upheaval in 2011.
