Abstract

All countries of the world are aware that governance is an essential element in the successful implementation of sustainable development policies and goals, but there are few studies that explore the relationship between governance and sustainability, especially in Arab countries that have passed and are still going through a state of political and security instability. This study attempts to identify and analyze the role of governance in promoting the transition towards sustainable growth in the country of Libya, where the global governance indicators (WGI) are presented, which appear in the World Bank databases, to assess the role of governance in the pursuit of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals and the extent of commitment to transition to a more stable society, which allows determining the direction of change for the better. This study seeks to review the governance indicators in Libya during the period (2011-2022), as it became clear that Libya is ranked among the Low Countries in terms of achieving the Global Governance Indicators set by the World Bank (WGI), which covers several dimensions of governance, and the study concluded after analyzing the level of global governance indicators, that the Libyan state will not be able to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals unless it paves the way to this, in reference to the weakness and low lag indicators that express good governance, in a call for urgent reform so as not to remain at the bottom of the list of the world is striving for Sustainable Development Growth).
