  • FOCAL POINTS MEETING Summary Report
    Ref: GoF/Focal Points/Doha, May 2011 Date: May 24, 2011 FOCAL POINTS MEETING Doha May 2, 2011 Summary Report Introduction On the eve of the Pre-Forum with CSO (May 3-4, 2011), Focal Points and delegates met in Doha on May 2, 2011. On behalf of the host country, participants were greeted by Dr. Hassan Ibrahim Al Mohannadi, Vice-President, The Qatar Committee for Alliance of Civilizations. The UNAOC High Representative, President Sampaio, underlined the importance of the meeting in the context of both the impending Third Implementation Plan and the preparation of the Doha Forum (December 2011). He welcomed the opportunity for Focal Points to meet with the experts appointed in the context of the Forum preparation (the experts briefly introduced themselves and contributed remarks throughout the meeting) and to engage with civil society representatives in the two following days. The meeting was facilitated by Mr. Marc Scheuer, Director of the UNAOC Secretariat. On May 4, 2011, a group of about 15 Focal Points, who had stayed on to attend the Pre Forum, briefly reconvened for debriefings. 1. UNAOC National Plans: the Importance of Strengthening National Ownership For 3 years now, countries had been invited by the High Representative to develop National Plans, designed to achieve global objectives at the local level. There had been no constraints on the process, structure, strategies and policies to be pursued. Countries had been free to secure ownership and coherence in the ways most suited to their set-up, resources and circumstances. With Plans in 27 countries, a critical mass had been reached, allowing to look at the lessons learned and to study the potential for evolution of these Plans, in order to make them more efficient tools.

DORSEY Trouble in Sport Paradise: Can Qatar Overcome the Diplomatic Crisis? The crisis in the Gulf pitting a United Arab Emirates­‑Saudi­‑led alliance against Qatar is the least of the country’s problems as it prepares for the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Indeed, Gulf States, primarily the United Arab Emirates (UAE), have long sought to discredit Qatar as a host prior to the UAE/Saudi Arabian declaration of a diplomatic and economic boycott in June 2017, yet Qatar has proven capable of addressing potential disruptions. However, the closer we come to the start of the tournament with the boycott still in place, the more difficult it will become for the boycotting states to include the World Cup in their embargo without provoking the ire of fans, attracting negative media coverage, and feeling pressured to concede.

  • The Weaponization of Twitter Bots in the Gulf Crisis
    International Journal of Communication 13(2019), 1389–1415 1932–8036/20190005 Propaganda, Fake News, and Fake Trends: The Weaponization of Twitter Bots in the Gulf Crisis MARC OWEN JONES Hamad bin Khalifa University, Qatar1 To address the dual need to examine the weaponization of social media and the nature of non-Western propaganda, this article explores the use of Twitter bots in the Gulf crisis that began in 2017. Twitter account-creation dates within hashtag samples are used as a primary indicator for detecting Twitter bots. Following identification, the various modalities of their deployment in the crisis are analyzed. It is argued that bots were used during the crisis primarily to increase negative information and propaganda from the blockading countries toward Qatar. In terms of modalities, this study reveals how bots were used to manipulate Twitter trends, promote fake news, increase the ranking of anti-Qatar tweets from specific political figures, present the illusion of grassroots Qatari opposition to the Tamim regime, and pollute the information sphere around Qatar, thus amplifying propaganda discourses beyond regional and national news channels. Keywords: bots, Twitter, Qatar, computational propaganda, Gulf crisis, Middle East The Gulf Crisis: Propaganda, Twitter, and Pretexts The recent Gulf crisis, in which Qatar was isolated by Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), has been accompanied by a huge social media propaganda campaign. This isolation, termed by some as “the blockade,” is an important opportunity for scholars of global communications to address what Oliver Boyd-Barrett (2017) calls the “imperative” need to explore “characteristics of non-Western propaganda” (p.

  • Qatar: Governance, Security, and U.S. Policy
    Qatar: Governance, Security, and U.S. Policy Updated August 27, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R44533 SUMMARY R44533 Qatar: Governance, Security, and U.S. Policy August 27, 2021 The State of Qatar, a small Arab Gulf monarchy which has about 300,000 citizens in a total population of about 2.4 million, has employed its ample financial resources to exert Kenneth Katzman regional influence, often independent of the other members of the Gulf Cooperation Specialist in Middle Council (GCC: Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Bahrain, and Eastern Affairs Oman) alliance. Qatar has fostered a close defense and security alliance with the United States and has maintained ties to a wide range of actors who are often at odds with each other, including Sunni Islamists, Iran and Iran-backed groups, and Israeli officials. Qatar’s support for regional Muslim Brotherhood organizations and its Al Jazeera media network have contributed to a backlash against Qatar led by fellow GCC states Saudi Arabia and the UAE. In June 2017, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Bahrain, joined by Egypt and a few other governments, severed relations with Qatar and imposed limits on the entry and transit of Qatari nationals and vessels in their territories, waters, and airspace. The Trump Administration sought a resolution of the dispute, in part because the rift was hindering U.S. efforts to formalize a “Middle East Strategic Alliance” of the United States, the GCC, and other Sunni-led countries in the region to counter Iran. Qatar has countered the Saudi-led pressure with new arms purchases and deepening relations with Turkey and Iran.
