Abstract

Oldukça yeni ve küçük bir devlet olan Katar, 1995-2013
periyodunda büyük bir ekonomik büyüme paralelinde gerçekleştirdiği dönüşüm
sonucunda aktif ve etkin bir aktör olarak uluslararası arenaya katılarak
dikkatleri üzerine çekmiş ve akademik çalışmaların ilgi odağı haline gelmiştir.
Ne var ki “Arap Baharı” sonrası bağlamda KİK ülkeleri arasında ortaya çıkan
siyasi çatışma sonucu Katar adı bölgesel bir krizi ifade eder hale gelmiştir.
Bu makale Katar’ın hem 1995-2013 yükseliş döneminde hem de halen devam eden
kriz döneminde, kendine özgü politikalarını liderlik konsepti çerçevesinde
incelemektedir. Bu çalışma liderlik faktörünün hem yükseliş döneminin oldukça
elverişli şartlarının hem de kriz döneminin zorlu şartlarının Katar’ın
ilerlemesi yolunda önemli avantajlara dönüştürülmüş olmasında anahtar rol
oynadığını iddia etmektedir. Bu yaklaşımla, Katar’ın neden ve ne şekilde diğer
küçük Körfez ülkelerinden farklılaştığı ve bunun etkin bir uluslararası aktör
olarak yükselmesi ve de bölgesel krizin ana tarafı haline gelmesi üzerindeki
etkileri ortaya konmaktadır

From Rise to Crisis: The Qatari Leadership

Abstract

Qatar, a young and tiny Gulf State, realized a
remarkable transformation through immense economic development in 1995-2013
period and emerged as an active and influential actor at international stage, receiving
worldwide attention and scholarly interests. However, in the post “Arab-spring”
context, the name of Qatar has turned out to be name of the regional crisis as
a consequence of the emerging political clash between the GCC States. This
paper analyzes Qatar’s distinctive policies in the period of Qatar’s rising
(1995-2013) and in the ongoing period of the crisis within the framework of
leadership conception. It is argued at this paper that the leadership factor
has played the key role in transforming both the auspicious circumstances of
the previous term and the challenging circumstances of the recent term into the
great advantages to promote Qatar. Through this perspective, it’s aimed to
define that why and how Qatar has differed from the other small Gulf States and
how it affected Qatar’s emerging as a rising power and then as the main side of
the regional conflict
