| Summary / Abstract (Note) | IN LIBYA, the supreme power in October 2011 passed into the hands of the National Transitional Council (NTC), which declared the country's liberation from Muammar Qaddafi's dictatorship.
With his removal the authoritarian model he called Jamahiriya ("state of the masses") lost its top leadership. The social and political system, crafted specifically for the leader, had ensured the governability and development of a vast country with a small population and riven by tribal loyalties as a single state for 42 years.
In autumn 2011, the NTC published a Roadmap for Democracy in Libya with a 20-month countdown to an election for a Constituent Assembly to adopt a new Constitution and other laws. After the Assembly's election, NTC is to be dissolved. |
