العزل في السياسية الخارجية السعودية حيال قطر

Abstract EN

The research deals with the issue of isolation policy in Saudi foreign policy, which has been applied against Qatar since the second half of 2017.

Isolation has been identified as one of the tools of "coercive" foreign policy, starting with defining the concept of isolation, its images and the requirements of its success.

This research aims to explain the theoretical frameworks of isolation policy, and then explore the extent of impact or feasibility of isolation through its applications by the Greater Gulf State, Saudi Arabia towards Qatar, the small country and neighbor.

The research concludes that isolation as a forced method in foreign policy, implemented by Saudi Arabia in different ways and forms, has not been as successful as previous experiences by major countries to punish other countries with the intention of forcing them to adopt a certain policy that would meet their national interests.
