Nicolas Fromm explores norm-based strategies small states can use to
distinguish themselves internationally in order to compensate for
their lesser geopolitical weight. Using the example of Qatar, the
author shows that such strategies might include a sort of norm
entrepreneurship which goes beyond the advocacy of universal norms and
implies the development of genuinely new norms (‘norm crafting’)
in pursuit of regional political influence. To shed light on the
stunning rise of Qatar from a background actor to a protagonist in
international diplomacy, the case study analyses the distinctive use
of norm crafting in the country’s Middle East diplomacy under the
reign of Emir Hamad (1995-2013). To unfold the potential of strategic
normative innovation, Qatar seems to have imitated the attitudes and
attributes of established norm entrepreneurs such as international
organizations.
