Abstract: 
Since the emergence of the Sahara issue, many changes and developments have characterized Morocco’s political behavior and defined its diplomatic conduct. Western Sahara has become a major and priority concern of the country’s supreme authority and a national project in which all categories of key and secondary actors have been involved. But despite the importance and symbolism that characterize this dossier in Moroccan conscience, the interest and passion of the national academic elites for the question of the Sahara in particular is limited and has few interests. Therefore, our desire to participate in this academic work in an attempt to approach the question of the Sahara according to a new interactive analytical paradigm, is based mainly on the combination of multiple describing aspects and deducting processes. We see that this process has the ability to provide a new reading that can help to examine the positioning of the issue and to predict the future of possible developments and future scenarios and even the possibility of directly influencing the course of current events.
