Abstract:This paper examines the democratisation agenda laid out by Western governments (United States, European Union) for the North African region vis-à-vis their Realpolitik conflict containment approach towards the Western Sahara conflict in the context of the US-led war on terror. Western policymakers conceive the United Nations Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara as a safety net that contains tension in the region and enables geo-strategic and economic partnerships with Algeria and Morocco. This paper underlines that the international community could play a greater role in promoting the long-term stability of the North African region by pursuing innovative policies geared towards addressing the root causes of the Western Sahara conflict.
