Three years since Qatar was blockaded by its neighbours, the tiny emirate has continued to hold its own. Despite periodic attempts at resolving the deepest rift in the Gulf, including a much-hyped recent effort brokered by Kuwait, hopes have proven misplaced. Will World Cup 2022, rising US–Iran tensions and the Saudi Crown Prince’s need for a “win” brighten prospects for a solution? Dr Kristian Ulrichsen, author of “Qatar and the Gulf Crisis”, which examined how the Gulf state tackled the crisis, will answer these and other questions.
