English Abstract
The Cold War, its end, and 9/11 are events that have unquestionably transformed the international system organization.
In fact, the bipolar world system during the Cold War had as much implications on international relations as the unipolar system that has resulted from the implosion of the Soviet Union, or the apolarity consequent to the attacks of September 11th.
We have intended in this analysis to assess the evolution of the position of the United States vis a vis the Western Sahara dispute since the Cold War up until the post 9/11 era.
We have endorsed neo-realist methods of analysis in order to be able to measure the implications of changes in the world system on the relations between the US, Morocco and Algeria.
The examination of the triangular relation at three different periods of time will allow us to eventually gauge the consequences of international systemic changes on the US position in the Western Sahara.
In this study, we have been able to highlight other factors that have been influential in US foreign policy making in the Maghreb, such as security and domestic issues.
However, we also have come to understand that these same factors are often themselves related to the systemic changes that the world went through on those events.
As showed in this paper, US foreign policy making in the Maghreb has been very pragmatic.
According to the neo-realist perspective, the systemic changes that happened consequently to the three international events we have analyzed will necessarily influence the evolution of the resolution process in the Western Sahara conflict.
Eventually, we have come to find out that the latest transformations in the world system have actually produced ripeness for greater and more efficient integration in the Maghrebi region.
Finally, more cooperation between North African States will necessarily induce internal, regional and eventually international stability.
US strategy goals for the region therefore intertwine, as it is also in the interest of the US to instate greater regional integration.
