Abstract

Following the February 17, 2011 revolution that overthrew the Libyan regime, the country entered a complex and bitter conflict involving multiple actors and instruments. This conflict has resulted in a profound rupture in social stability. By examining the internal environmental variables that hinder the achievement of societal stability—such as the absence of a unified authority, the fragmentation of state institutions, the proliferation of armed groups, the lack of rule of law, and the repeated failure to conduct regular elections—the study seeks to understand the deeper roots of the ongoing crisis. The research concludes that the continued struggle for power and the multiplicity of decision-making centers have weakened the state and entrenched divisions, thus necessitating a comprehensive political solution. The study aims to provide an analytical perspective that contributes to state-building efforts and promotes stability through institutional unification, activation of the electoral process, and the establishment of an effective legal and security framework that upholds state sovereignty and serves the public interest. Libya has experienced numerous internal variables that have negatively impacted social stability, the most significant of which include the delayed development of democratic institutions, military divisions, economic challenges, the influence of armed groups, the resurgence of tribalism, and ongoing security threats. Collectively, these variables have led to a state of social instability and fragmentation in Libya.
