Libyan Public Administration after 2011: Institutional Transformations and Reform Challenges

Abstract

Since the 2011 revolution, Libyan public administration has undergone significant institutional transformations as the state attempted to rebuild an effective administrative apparatus capable of delivering public services while promoting accountability and transparency. However, these efforts faced multiple challenges, including institutional fragility, weak legal frameworks, lack of coordination among agencies, and the impact of a volatile political and social environment. This paper aims to examine these transformations and analyze the challenges confronting administrative reform in Libya, while highlighting potential opportunities to enhance administrative performance and strengthen state institutions. The study adopts a descriptive-analytical approach, relying on a review of scientific literature, analysis of legal texts and official documents, and a comparative assessment of public administration experiences in similar contexts.
