The goal of the Study Mission is to allow participants to open their minds and leave the pre-existing narrative behind. In particular, this project will help students to understand the importance of diplomatic relations between countries and how they are directly linked to their economic ties.
Participants will elaborate analysis on controversial topics: economic crisis and sanctions, terrorism, financial crisis.
The stay in Qatar will also be a unique opportunity to interact with Qatar’s ruling class.
By the end of the program, participants will have gained a deeper understanding of the motivations and consequences of the embargo imposed on Qatar, as well as the developments resulting from its dismantle.
We will try to understand how Qatar’s political tie with Iran has determined the blockade imposed by Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Egypt in 2017 as well as the rational behind the decision to leave OPEC.
Participants will also have the opportunity to discover the importance and the full impact of Qatar’s cultural and sports diplomacy, discovering why a small country such as Qatar can be so valuable both in the Gulf region and at the international level.
