The authors discuss the country's diplomatic performance, which was characterized by five main factors that helped Qatar to deal with the crisis successfully. These factors include the failure of the element of surprise, years of building Qatar's national brand, Qatar's arsenal of soft power, international alliances, and the opponents' quandary. This book further scrutinizes Qatar's role in the region and all questions related to this role through the lenses of its nation brand. The book provides explanations for the success of Qatar in absorbing the "shock and awe" in the early stage of the last Gulf crisis, presenting various arguments on how establishing a nation brand helped Qatar to deal with the crisis successfully. The book follows an original approach that views the Qatari case from a scientific perspective, investigating the art of nation branding. It will appeal to students, researchers, and scholars of international relations, psychology, political science, and journalism, as well as policy-makers interested in a better understanding of soft power, nation branding, Middle East studies, and diplomacy. 001452697 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed February 7, 2023). 001452697 650_0 $$aNational characteristics, Qatari. 001452697 650_0 $$aBranding (Marketing) 001452697 651_0 $$aQatar$$xForeign relations. 001452697 651_0 $$aQatar$$xForeign relations administration. 001452697 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001452697 7001_ $$aAmin, Azzam,$$eauthor. 001452697 7001_ $$aZarrinabadi, Nourollah,$$eauthor. 001452697 830_0 $$aContributions to international relations.$$x2731-507X 001452697 852__ $$bebk 001452697 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-24651-7$$zOnline Access$$91397441.2 001452697 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1452697$$pGLOBAL_SET 001452697 980__ $$aBIB 001452697 980__ $$aEBOOK 001452697 982__ $$aEbook 001452697 983__ $$aOnline 001452697 994__ $$a92$$bISE
