520 1 $a""The Western Sahara is one of the world's last vestiges of colonialism. In this thoughtful and impressive analysis, Stephen Zunes and Jacob Mundy provide valuable insights on the importance of enabling the people of the Western Sahara to determine their own future through a democratic referendum:'t︣he late senator Edward Kennedy" ""This book is a timely and scholarly synthesis presented with clarity and comprehension. Backed by their fieldwork, the authors consider Western Sahara's irresolution as a consequence of not only competing nationalisms (and interfering actors), but also of conflicting imaginations of polity and society"P︣hillip Naylor, author of France and Algeria: A History of Decolonization and Transformation" ""A well researched, well written, and all encompassing book on one of the most intractable, but for the most part forgotten conflicts of our times:'A︣nna Theofilopoulou, special advisor to UN Secretary-General's personal envoy to Western Sahara James Baker" ""Jacob Mundy and Stephen Zunes have done a great service in putting together this book, the most comprehensive coverage of the Western Sahara conflict in the English language in a quarter-century:'G︣eorge McGovern, from the Foreword" "The Western Sahara Conflict has proven to be one of the most protracted struggles facing the international community. Pitting local Sahrawi nationalism against Moroccan territorial ambitions, the dispute is further complicated by regional tensions with Algeria and the geostrategic concerns of major global players, including the United States, France, and the territory's former colonial ruler, Spain. For over twenty years, the UN Security Council has failed to find a formula that delicately balances these international interests against Western Sahara's long-denied right to a self-determination referendum as Africa's last UN-recognized colony." "In this first comprehensive treatment of the conflict in over two decades, Zunes and Mundy examine the origins, evolution, and resilience of the Western Sahara dispute, deploying a diverse array of sources and firsthand knowledge of the region gained from multiple research visits. Shifting geographical framesl︣ocal, regional, and internationalp︣rovide for a robust analysis of the stakes involved."--BOOK JACKET.
