Abstract
ABSTRACT Since September 1969 the Libyan political system has undergone many fundamental changes. In this paper, we analyze the dynamics of Libyan political institutions, particularly the dualistic leadership: the “administrative power” and “the revolutionary power”. We also focus on the role Kadhafi plays in modernizing the Libyan society and emancipating Libyan women by building an authoritarian regime which has some of its references in Islamic and tribal culture of “statelessness”. Taking into consideration the nature of the Jamahiriya regime, we analyze Kadhafi's strategy of legitimizing his policies and the many contradictions of a Libyan society in transition.
