Few empirical studies of Arab countries have dealt with political culture and political socialisation or focused on people's beliefs, values, and attitudes towards the government or political leaders, mainly because the regimes have been reluctant to allow opinion to be tested. The significance of this book is that it assesses the influence of state ideology on the new generation of Libyans, and examines their political culture.

Political Culture in Libya,
This review is from: Political Culture in Libya (Hardcover)
This is an excellent book. It offers fresh thinking supported by field research on issues that go to the heart of economic, political, and social change in Libya. Based on a survey of 500 students at Garyounis University in Benghazi, Libya, the author concludes that the revolutionary government headed by Mu'ammar al-Qaddafi has enjoyed considerable success since 1969 in reproducing its values among the younger generation. Regime success is most notable in the area of gender issues together with policies on Arab nationalism, Arab unity, and the Palestinian issue. The regime has been much less successful in its efforts to create politically participant citizens and to develop acceptable alternatives to kinship ties. These are very significant findings that challenge the thinking of many observers on the construct and impact of the Qaddafi revolution.
