• Languages of publication: PL

Abstracts

The authoress analyses the consequences of the Arab Spring for security of the region countries. She concentrates on uncontrolled proliferation of weapons from Libyan stockpiles and the outbreak of Tuareg rebellion in the northern Mali. These developments were the results of the collapse of Gaddafi’s regime in Libya. That’s all – along with political turmoils in Tunisia and Egypt – results in the flow of refugees into the region. The changes in the political system in Tunisia and Libya have empowered the Salafist movements and facilitated the creation of new Islamic organizations. Meantime due to reducement of security measures in the states involved in political revolts the biggest terrorist organizations in the region – al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb – has exploited the destabilization by increasing its military capabilities.
