About this book
This book provides a detailed analysis of Qatar’s participation in China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). With a particular focus on its economic, social, and geopolitical impacts, it examines how Qatar has used its position within the BRI framework to diversify its economy, strengthen global integration, and increase international trade. By critically exploring the potential risks of the BRI, the dangers of economic dependency, geopolitical tensions, and sustainability are explored in relation to Qatar’s long-term development.
This book offers new insights into the ways that small states can leverage international initiatives for economic diversification and development. It will be relevant to students, researchers, and policymakers interested in economic development, the political economy, and global trade.
