Libya has received little attention from scholars analysing democratic potential in North Africa and the Middle East in recent years. The era of the Jamahiriyya created by Colonel Qadhafi and based on his ‘Third Universal Theory’ is, however, drawing to a close and attention should be given to the potential for democratic change after he leaves the political scene. The outlook for such potential is very limited since there are few indigenous institutions to foster it, nor do the secular or Islamist opposition movements offer much chance of a successful democratic transition
