After four decades, the essential demands of the two sides in the Western Saharan conflict have changed very little and remain mutually exclusive - a demand, on each side, for recognition of its sovereignty over the region, whatever we understand by the term, 'sovereignty'. This book is virtually the first commenting on the conflict that seeks to present the views of all sides and thus reveals why it is that a conflict based on so simple an issue remains so intractable. As such, and in the quality of its contributors, it is a major contribution to our understanding of an issue that continues to be at the basis of regional security, despite the regional uncertainties that have resulted from the revolutions of the past two years., Perspectives on Western Sahara provides for the very first time a truly balanced set of interpretative analyses. Composed of a broad range of chapters by a set of highly qualified scholars of different intellectual persuasion from a variety of countries, the book provides a nuanced understanding of the complexity of the issues surrounding the conflict that is neither ideologically-driven nor diplomatically-biased in favor of one side or another. This book will stand out as a compelling study of a subject that is increasingly influencing the dramatic and dangerous events currently engulfing the Saharan-Sahelian corridor. Well written, comprehensive, and objective, this book will be of great value both to seasoned scholars as well as introductory students of the subject., Perspectives on Western Sahara comes at a critical time in the long history of the conflict, a time marked by rising insecurity and instability in the region. By situating the conflict in its historical and geopolitical context, an international panel of authors deftly shed light on the origins of the problem, those associated with prolonging it, and the multiple attempts made to resolve it. The book is of direct relevance to those interested in conflict resolution as it relates to the processes of reconciling ethno-nationalist aspirations with state sovereignty, a process greatly complicated by the contest for regional rivalry, in this case between Morocco and Algeria., If solid information, good analysis, and reason could provide solutions to long-standing conflicts, this book would be the key to a settlement of the Western Sahara problem. Of course the book will not unlock the solution, but it is still required reading for anybody who wants to go beyond the propaganda of all sides and understand the issues., For four decades now, the conflict in the Western Sahara has denied peace, human security and good governance to its citizens. The inability -- both internally and through external mediation -- to find a satisfactory solution that is both lasting and peaceful has weighed negatively on the relations of people within the Maghreb and the broader Sahel. Perspectives on Western Sahara provides a cross section of views from well-informed, notable experts that give us a better understanding of the root causes of the conflict and can help reasoned participants find a way to end this in a manner that will benefit all concerned. Ignoring the problem does not help, and the longer it lingers, the more likely it will become more violent both internally, and throughout the region., Perspectives on the Western Saharahas become the main source reference for diplomatic practitioners and other political operatives who, in the future, may develop the courage to try and find a political solution for one of Africa's oldest and most intractable crises. I recommend this volume for everyone who wants to have an in-depth and accurate understanding of the totality of issues inside and outside this disputed territory., Perspectives on the Western Sahara has become the main source reference for diplomatic practitioners and other political operatives who, in the future, may develop the courage to try and find a political solution for one of Africa's oldest and most intractable crises.

Well written, comprehensive, and objective, this book will be of great value both to seasoned scholars as well as introductory students of the subject., Perspectives on Western Sahara provides in-depth and well-balanced analysis on a long-term international dispute, and in a broad region - Sahel - where multiple crisis are strongly connected. This collective book is composed of various contributions from well-recognized serious experts coming from various horizons and nationalities. While the Sahrawi issue has sometimes been underestimated or ignored by many academics or think-tankers working on Maghreb and West-Africa, this book rightly avoids the classic views' distortion in general expressed by Morocco and Algeria and, simply for that reason, deserves to be already considered as a decisive contribution., Perspectives on Western Sahara comes at a critical time in the long history of the conflict, a time marked by rising insecurity and instability in the region.

It provides a very useful set of information and perspectives. Indeed, closing this costly political and human chapter in the conflict may be helped by the analysis provided by the Perspectives on Western Sahara., For four decades now, the conflict in the Western Sahara has denied peace, human security and good governance to its citizens.
