卡塔尔外交政策的基本要素研究

Abstract:The modern Qatar was a product of the British-supported Al-Thani family in controlling the Gulf affairs in 1868. From 1868 to 1971，Qatar had long relied on British security protection. In the 1990s，Qatar established a direct dependence on American security protection. Dependence on great power has always been a fundamental element of Qatar's foreign policy. In response to Saudi Arabia's pressure，Qatar seeks regional balance among Saudi Arabia，Iran，Turkey and Israel，which is another essential element of its foreign policy. Guided by the firm will and diplomatic ambition of Qatar's decision-making level，Qatar pursues its miraculous power diplomacy based on great powers' dependence and regional balance. Qatar takes the energy industry and its strong financial strength as the material basis and the main tool for building its hard power. It also pays attention to building Qatar's soft power construction by brand cultural undertakings，supporting for the Muslim Brotherhood，and actively participating in the mediation of regional conflicts. The three basic elements of great power dependence，regional balance and Subtle power diplomacy have jointly shaped the pattern of small power diplomacy by Qatar.
