Western Sahara: War, Nationalism, And Conflict Irresoluton, Second Edition, Paperback - Stephen Zunes

He is the author of several book chapters and articles on North African politics. Pitting local nationalist determination against Moroccan territorial ambitions, the dispute is further complicated by regional tensions with Algeria and the geo-strategic 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 will delicately balance these interests against Western Sahara's long-denied right to a self-determination referendum as one of the last UN-recognized colonies. Middle East Policy and the Roots of Terrorism. Shifting geographical frames--local, regional, and international--provide for a robust analysis of the stakes involved.About author(s):Stephen Zunes is professor of politics and international studies at the University of San Francisco, where he chairs the program in Middle Eastern Studies.
