This paper discusses the security landscape in Libya, with a particular focus on the actors involved in providing security in the country. In general, the authors contend that the security sector in Libya is characterized by a large variety of different actors with different political orientations and areas of geographic control of which traditional security institutions play a relatively minor role. They also examine how to restore security and establish the rule of law in the country; the continued high level of support among Libya's population for institutional actors to remain in control of security provision; and the threat to this support from competing non-state actors.
