Abstract

  Qatar is a tiny state that has invested on soft power and the relevant instruments to project that power; in this way it has established the Aljazeera Channel aiming at increase of its security co-efficiency. The paper intends to answer the question that what roles the Aljazeera channel has played in increasing Qatar’s soft power. In this way, the authors’ hypothesis is that by getting control of flow of information regarding the US war in Afghanistan and Iraq, the Israeli war against Palestine, a reverse image building in the Arab world before the 2011 developments and contributing to motivate protesters in Arab countries at that period, the channel has increased Qatar’s regional and global prestige and reputation while strengthening its security co-efficiency. The paper enjoys a descriptive-analytical method in studying the Aljazeera channel role.
