This research elucidates characteristics of Qatar’s mediation diplomacy, one of the basic pillars by which the small state gains greater influence in regional and world politics. Qatar’s brokerage before the Arab Spring was largely successful and helped it obtain new friends and become known as a reliable partner by conflicting parties.
However, switching to an interventionist foreign policy during the Arab Spring caused strife with other Arab states that wanted authoritarian regimes to remain in power. Though being on the right side morally, namely with the people against dictatorial regimes, the sheikhdom suffered from the hostilities of its rivals, particularly during the blockade. With the Al-Ula Declaration that ended the three and a half year blockade, Doha resumed mediation diplomacy to re-gain its pre-Arab Spring reputation.
While Qatari officials act more assertive and professional in the new era, whether they will be successful in actualizing the goal of making Doha a hub of diplomacy depends not only on the Qatari government, but also external factors and rival countries. This study tries to shed light on Qatar’s mediation diplomacy by analyzing positive and negative aspects of the venture.
