This opening is welcome, because Libya remains heavily engaged with the other countries of the Sahel, and across Africa in general, as well as with Arab states. A more development-minded Libya could help dampen tensions in these vital regions. Indeed, Gaddafi’s emphatic call for Libya to embrace the market economy could have a sort of revolutionary domino effect among North Africa’s “dirigiste” economies, improving the chances for a revitalization of plans to open and integrate the Maghreb Union economies.
这个开端是令人欢迎的，因为利比亚与其他萨赫勒国家、非洲全境以及阿拉伯国家仍然交往极其密切。一个更加注重发展的利比亚有助于缓和这些关键地区的紧张局势。的确，卡扎菲决绝地倡导利比亚实行市场经济可能对北非的“政府管制型”经济模式有一种革命性的多米诺骨牌效应，从而提高了开启和整合马格里布联盟各经济体的复兴计划的机率。
