Foreign Policy
Libya's foreign policy is largely defined by the struggle for internal legitimacy. The internationally recognized government in Tripoli has sought to rebuild diplomatic ties and reintegrate into the African Union and Arab League. Oil revenue distribution remains the central political and economic issue.
Historically, Libya under Gaddafi pursued Pan-African and Pan-Arab unity and was instrumental in founding the African Union. Post-revolution Libya is more inward-looking, focused on reunification and stabilization.
