Abstract: Historically, small states have been perceived as passive actors in the realm of international relations, possessing restricted agency or influence relative to more considerable powers. This perception changes as small states increasingly adopt proactive foreign policies and utilize strategic assets to enhance their influence. Qatar exemplifies how a diminutive state can surpass traditional constraints to emerge as a prominent regional and international actor. Notwithstanding its limited size and absence of a substantial population or abundant natural resources, Qatar has established a vigorous and distinguished presence in the Arabian Gulf and West Asia.
