Abstract:
Research novelty
The main aim of the entire project is to investigate the utilization of soft power as a foreign policy strategy by small states, focusing on specific cases of Singapore and Qatar. While soft power has been extensively studied in context of major powers, its application and effectiveness in foreign policy of small states remain relatively underexplored. Therefore, this project is intended to shed more light on soft power use by small states. In order to be more specific it is designed as a comparative analysis to do a comparison between Singapore and Qatar as both of these countries are considered as small states.
