(anglicky): This final thesis work analyzes sultanistic regimes in the concept of Juan Linz. Specifically, it focuses on the Gaddafi regime in Libya. The main aim of the work is answering the question whether the Gaddafi regime belongs to sultanistic regimes. To answer this question it is necessary to characterize the term of sultanistic regimes. In particular, it is necessary to point out aspects of sultanistic regimes such as: absolute rule of one person, the removal of undesirable people for the regime, malfunction of laws or election, the absence of institutions, disrespect the autonomy of other power centres. It studies the development of Gaddafi regime, Gaddafi's efforts on the emergence of "ideology" and the design of institutions at the time in Libya. The period of the Gaddafi regime is divided into four main stages: the beginning of the Gaddafi regime 1969-1973, the Green Book's stateless society 1973-1986, the limits of the revolution 1986-2000 and Libya in the twenty-first century. There are some of the features of sultanisms in each period, but the most sultanistic elements were the period between 1973 and 1986
