Qatar and the Gulf Crisis (Hardcover)

In 2017, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the UAE and Egypt severed
diplomatic ties with Qatar, launching an economic blockade by land,
air and sea. The self-proclaimed 'Anti-Terror Quartet' offered
maximalist demands: thirteen 'conditions' recalling
Austria-Hungary's 1914 ultimatum to Serbia. They may even have
intended military action. Well into its second year, the standoff
in the Gulf has no realistic end in sight. With the Bahraini and
Emirati criminalisation of expressing support for Qatar, and the
Saudi labelling of detainees as 'traitors' for their alleged Qatari
links, bitterness has been stoked between deeply interconnected
peoples. The adviser to the Saudi crown prince advocating a moat to
physically separate Qatar from the Arabian Peninsula illustrates
the ongoing intensity-and irrationality-of the crisis. Most
reporting and analysis of these developments has focused on
questions of regional geopolitics, and framed the standoff in terms
of its impact on (largely) Western interests. Lost in this thicket
of commentary is consideration of how the Qatari leadership and
population have responded to the blockade. As the 2022 FIFA World
Cup draws closer, the ongoing Qatar crisis becomes increasingly
important to understand. Ulrichsen offers an authoritative study of
this international standoff, from both sides.
