Le Mexique et les limites de la politique étrangère des grands principes à travers le cas de la RASD.

The question of the former Spanish Sahara has divided the international community for more than four decades. Morocco, in the name of historical rights, considers it a part of its territory. The Polisario, in the name of the self-determination of peoples, wishes to administer it. Mexico chose its side in 1979 by recognizing the SADR, an emanation of the Polisario, in the name of this same principle of self-determination. Through this article, we want to understand the historical and ideological reasons that push Mexico to this choice and force it to maintain it while its international role and its dominant ideology have changed for more than thirty years.
