This is how you order the book "The European Union Approach Towards Western Sahara".

Published 16 March 2017

In 2017, a new book on Western Sahara was edited by professors Marco Balboni and Giuliana Laschi.

The book is the outcome of a workshop with the same title, organised in 2014 at University of Bologna, where both professors are lecturing. The workshop took place in the framework of the Italian presidency of the European Union.
