Westsahara. Afrikas letzte Kolonie (J. Tavakoli, M. O. Hinz, W. Ruf et L. Gaiser)

The Western Sahara conflict is considered to be a forgotten conflict about which the German-speaking public knows little. Yet this colonial conflict on Europe’s doorstep is extremely important for the stability of the region. International academics, politicians and activists explain the context and current dynamics of this colonial conflict, which continues to this day, through well-founded analyses. The authors focus on the scope of the actors involved. They address the viewpoints and political opportunities of the Sahrawi liberation movement and Sahrawi activists, the Moroccan monarchy, the United Nations and its Blue Helmet mission, international companies, NGOs and European and German parliamentarians. In this up-to-date and indispensable overview of Africa’s last colony, not only many international experts but also important German players have their say. The volume is the result of the online symposium “Western Sahara. Between colonialism, imperialism and self-determination” held on 23 April 2021. Take a look at the contributions of the eminent international academics who took part: International Symposium on Western Sahara (23.4.2021). You can order this book in a library or directly to the editor. The essays are also free and available online under the name “Westsahara-Konflikt. Zwischen Kolonialismus, Imperialismus und Selbstbestimmung“ and can be uploaded here : http://www.freie-westsahara.eu/. Table of contents : westsahara_contents
