Theses Abstracts in English on Libya 1936–2012

The Maghreb Review, Vol. 41, 1, 2016 © The Maghreb Review 2016 This publication is printed on longlife paper THESES ABSTRACTS IN ENGLISH ON LIBYA 1936–2012 COMPILED AND EDITED BY MOHAMED BEN-MADANI EDITORIAL NOTE Given the large number of theses that are covered in this compilation, we think it best to dedicate this issue of The Maghreb Review to Libyan Theses as it will be a useful reference tool for students, scholars and librarians for years to come. The following theses abstracts in English on Libya covering all fields of research, are published here for the benefit of interested scholars and students. These abstracts have not been included in any bibliographical work in the past and are arranged in Alphabetical order. The largest number of theses on Libya were presented in United Kingdom Universities (297) followed by United States universities (26), Canada (1), Ireland (3) and Sweden (1). We have included some older theses which were not included in our Abstracts of English Language Theses on Libya that was published in Volume 23, Nos. 1-4, 1998. In earlier Volumes we have published similar Abstracts on Morocco (Volume 26, Nos. 2-4, 2001, Volume 39, No. 4, 2014, and Volume 38, No. 2, 2013), Algeria (Volume 27, Nos. 2-4, 2012), Tunisia (Volume 24, Nos. 3-4, 1999), Maghreb (Volume 21, Nos. 3-4, 1996) and Mauritania, (Volume 24, Nos. 1-2, 1999). These Volumes are still available and can be ordered through our website: www.maghrebreview.com. Some theses included here are comparatively short (as few as 74 pages!) and beg the question as to how closely supervised they were and how stringent the criteria are for awarding a PhD in some institutions. 4 COMPILED AND EDITED BY MOHAMED BEN-MADANI ABSTRACTS THAT ARE CURRENTLY INACCESSIBLE The following titles are those theses which I have not been able to access.
