Qatar: forces et faiblesses d'un activisme

In: Politique étrangère: PE ; revue trimestrielle publiée par l'Institut Français des Relations Internationales, Band 77, Heft 4, S. 849-861

Abstract

Once fairly quiet in terms of foreign policy, Qatar intends, since the Arab uprisings of 2011, to occupy a central role in reshaping the geopolitics of the region. It is hoping to make considerable financial resources. However, systemic interventions could be a problem for those countries of the region that tend always to aspire to a position of regional leader (Egypt, Saudi Arabia) as well as for external powers traditionally intervening in the region.
