The Western Sahara issue is one of the oldest regional disputes, rooted in the Cold War era. It has drawn attention from various international powers, acting both as mediators and direct supporters, especially during the East-West Cold War. After the Soviet Union collapsed and the U.S. emerged as a global power, the conflict was influenced by shifting geopolitical dynamics and national interests, which had negative repercussions on the Arab region. The U.S. leveraged its global position to influence the conflict, proposing the Baker Plan to support negotiations in New York. This study aims to analyze the impact of the Western Sahara issue, the U.S. perspective on it, and how it handles this significant Arab matter amid regional transformations.
