Academic Scientific JournalsCrisis Management in the Era of the Global Network. The Case of Qatari responsive Policy vs. the Antiterror Quartet Sanctions
Keywords:
Gulf Crisis, sanctions, crisis management, Qatar, anti-terror quarteAbstract
Crisis management and the global network were the two fundamental methods that Qatar has used to avoid and mitigate the negative impact of sanctions imposed by the so-called Anti-Terror Quartet states (Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt). They have also served in the process of recovery of security after the internal crisis. The research objective of the article is the presentation of Qatar’s anti-sanction policy, one based on these two remedies (crisis management and global network) that turned out to be successful and as such may become a model useful for other states that face a similar threat.
