Global, Regional and Local Dimensions of Western Sahara’s Protracted Decolonization: When a Conflict Gets Old
Editat de Raquel Ojeda-Garcia, Irene Fernández-Molina, Victoria Veguillaen Limba Engleză Hardback – dec 2016
This book explores the traces of the passage of time on the protracted and intractable conflict of Western Sahara. The authors offer a multilevel analysis of recent developments from the global to the local scenes, including the collapse of the architecture of the UN-led conflict resolution process, the advent of the War on Terror to the the Sahara-Sahel area and the impact of the ‘Arab Spring’ and growing regional security instability. Special attention is devoted to changes in the Western Sahara territory annexed by Morocco and the Sahrawi refugee camps in Algeria. Morocco has adapted its governance and public policies to profound socio-demographic transformations in the territory under its control and has attempted to obtain international recognition for this annexation by proposing an Autonomy Plan. The Polisario Front and Sahrawi nationalists have shifted their strategy and pushed the centre of gravity of the conflict back inwards by focusing on pro-independence activism inside the disputed territory.

Recenzii
“[This] volume … adeptly illustrates how the conflict’s oft-noted intractability entails not only continuity over time, but also the emergence of new dynamics. … Leaving aside causal arguments at a time when conflict resolution appears as distant as ever allows the volume’s contributors to consider emergent developments in the Western Sahara from a wide range of perspectives. This is nowhere more evident than in the series of studies and contributions that engage with identity, subjectivity and lived experience. … This study reflects—or perhaps, even, is a step ahead of—developments in the field by showcasing the burgeoning literature on Western Sahara that engages with lived experience. … This volume represents a major contribution in bringing together contributors from Spain, the UK, France, Mexico and the United States, to break language-based silos that too often inhibit crossfertilization … .” (Mark Drury, The Journal of North African Studies, September 16, 2017)
