Abstract

The status of Western Sahara as a non-self-governing territory pending decolonization has been frozen since the 1960s. However, the Western Sahara conflict has undergone dialectical and strategic changes on the part of the actors involved. Therefore, this article focuses on the role of natural resources in the new strategy of the Polisario Front and Morocco. In addition, it analyzes the influence of non-state actors in this new strategy and the role on the growing importance on natural resources. Finally, it reflects Spain as an institutional actor.
