Abstract
The foreign policies of small states in the GCC are increasingly linked to key roles in conflict resolution processes regionally and beyond. By emerging as mediators the leadership of such states also powerfully address and remain relevant to the wider diplomatic processes that pushes them close to forms of indispensability. In so doing such countries strengthen bilateral relationships with bigger states that in reality are fundamental to meeting the existential demands of state survival and national interest. Further, such countries can begin to gain attributes of reliability and responsiveness that permit them an outsized role on the global stage. This article takes the case of Qatar, to undertake analysis of its conflict resolution initiatives, principally mediation. It does so, as they relate to specifically constitutional commitments, the preservation of shelter relationships with bigger states and foreign policy goals in complex and enduring conflict environments.
