    The Qatari Crisis: Are Arabs Supposed to Unite or Fight Each Other? HAMZAOUI Ahlem, Maitre-Assistante A, Université Badji Mokhtar , Annaba Algérie. [email protected] Abstract The Arab world is witnessing a series of revolutions and conflicts in many Arab countries. The Arab Spring that took place in the late 2010 led to significant changes in the regimes of a considerable number of Arab countries and had dramatically transformed the political landscape of Arab countries. These seismic changes in the Arab world created new geopolitical dynamics, regional instability and great uncertainty .In 2017, a new crisis emerged in the horizon when Saudi Arabia and its allies ( United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Egypt and Yemen) cut diplomatic relations with Qatar and impose a de facto blockade of the country which foreboding catastrophic consequences on the region. This is the most serious diplomatic crisis between Gulf Arab states for decades. It is taking place in a specific context; just after US President Donald Trump specified on 21 May the orientations of his foreign policy in the Middle East. Tensions between Saudi Arabia and its allies on one hand, and Qatar on the other hand, would escalate and worsen the situation rather than figuring out a midway solution to their conflicts. Key words: Saudi Arabia, Qatar, crisis, diplomatic relations, blockade, escalation ملخص شهد العالم العربي سلسلة من الثورات والصراعات في العديد من الدول العربية. أدى الربيع العربي الذي حدث في أواخر عام 0202 إلى تغييرات كبيرة في أنظمة عدد كبير من الدول العربية وقام بتحويل المشهد السياسي للدول العربية بشكل مثير. هذه التغيرات الزلزالية في العالم العربي خلقت ديناميكيات جيوسياسية جديدة ، وعدم استقرار إقليمي وعدم يقين كبير .في عام 0202 ، ظهرت أزمة جديدة في اﻷفق عندما قطعت المملكة العربية السعودية وحلفاؤها )اﻹمارات العربية المتحدة والبحرين ومصر واليمن( العﻻقات الدبلوماسية مع قطر.

At the turn of the 21st century, Qatar witnessed exponential growth and diversification supported by development of industrial and port infrastructure and increased focus on exports. Government’s swift responses to the regional blockade underpinned Qatar’s economic resilience which ensured stability in industrial sector exports, both in the oil and gas and non-oil, non-gas segments. A blessing in disguise, the blockade led to rapid development in Qatar’s agro- and food-based industries driven by initiatives by the government and the private sector. After mitigating the immediate impact of the blockade, the government developed the manufacturing sector strategy, comprising nine strategic enablers which are expected to help Qatar build on its resilience and emerge stronger. The ending of blockade and a multi-sector development pipeline augurs well for Qatar’s industrial sector. ” Qatar 2.0- Resilient and Stronger | 2 Qatar Industrial Landscape 1.0 The discovery of oil in the 1940’s jump started Qatar’s industrial growth and economic development In the early 20th century, Qatar’s economy was heavily reliant on fishing and pearl diving. It transformed significantly with the discovery of oil in 1940. This drove industrial development, with the opening of Mesaieed Industrial City and Mesaieed Port in 1949.

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.

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.
