Abstrakt: Analysing the case of Western Sahara highlights the evolution of US policy towards the Maghreb; it demonstrates that American policy in the region has progressively shifted from reliance on multilateralism to a more pronounced unilateralism, although using the United Nations as an instrument to accomplish that objective. It also shows that the Bush Administration's espousal of the notion of a ‘New World Order’, and the Clinton Administration's ‘aggressive multilateralism’, reflected ideological discourse rather than a genuine attachment to a political strategy.
