Comment ce territoire, plat et désertique, vaste comme la moitié de la France, Sahara occidental pour les uns, Sahara marocain ou provinces du Sud pour les autres, a-t-il échappé au vaste mouvement de décolonisation puis est-il tombé dans cette anomalie historique d'un no man's land qui ne sera jamais indépendant, tout au moins dans la forme actuelle que revêt l'indépendance-celle de l'Etat-nation-, seule forme autorisée de société ? Pour autant, trente années de crise n'auront pas tempéré les aspirations nationales des protagonistes.

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.
