| description | <p dir="ltr">Small states can significantly influence international relations, as seen in the cases of Qatar and Norway. The impact of small states can be magnified depending on their resources, how they deploy these resources, and the global context. Both Qatar and Norway have substantial natural resources and have become crucial players in international energy markets, a role that has become even more vital following the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022. They have pursued internationalization strategies but differed in their motives, methods, and means of managing their energy sectors and investments over the past decade. However, the outcome has been the same: two small states projecting outsized global influence despite their size and limited military capabilities. In an increasingly interconnected world, small states like Qatar and Norway serve as examples of how strategic use of resources and international engagement can amplify a country’s global impact.</p><h2 dir="ltr">Other Information</h2><p dir="ltr">Published in: Comparative Strategy<br>License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_blank">http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a><br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.1080/01495933.2025.2456426" target="_blank">https://dx.doi.org/10.1080/01495933.2025.2456426</a></p> |
