In the March/April 2020 issue of  The Washington Report on Middle East Affairs,  Elaine Pasquini reviewed Jason Pack's research on an economic approach to peace in Libya, which he had published on January 2020 and presented at a public panel at the Middle East Institute. The event also featured former commercial officer at the American Embassy in Tripoli, who supported Pack's argument.
