Talk:Qatari soft power

Funding of mosques in Europe, the Americas, Asia and Africa
In March 2023, it was uncovered by French media that the UAE had been actively promoting anti-Qatar sentiment by associating Qatar's government with the Muslim Brotherhood. The UAE employed various methods to increase its influence in France in order to spread negative information about Qatar. At the request of Abu Dhabi, over 100 articles were published annually. A Swiss-based financial intelligence company called Alp Services was identified as the orchestrator of the UAE network. This network, also known as the Emirati network, released a series of articles under the title "Qatar Papers," which contained allegations against Qatar. The authors of these articles were Christian Chesnot and Georges Malbrunot. Morgan1811 (talk) 06:20, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

Requested move notification
An editor has requested that Italian soft power be moved to Soft power of Italy, which may be of interest to this WikiProject. You &#32;are invited to participate in the move discussion.

Not a WikiProject, but editors may be interested, as the suggestion is to standardise article titles in this series. IgnatiusofLondon (talk) 14:36, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

TNT and Rewrite
In light of the comments made at AfD, I am considering how this article can be rewritten by jettisoning the OR the sockpuppet creator placed here, and instead creating essentially a new article based on the sourced posted by Red Tailed Hawk. The sources are: Any thoughts as to how this rewrite should be structured?
 * 1) In the first paper (Brananagan & Giulianotti, 2018), there is a critical look at the concept of soft power, both positive, and looking at how it can backfire. The Qatar world cup bid is analysed in this respect.
 * 2) In the second paper, (al-Horr, Tok & Gagoshidze, 2019), Qatar is again analysed as an example, in what appears to be a more clearly positive slant, considering an outlook to global international relations, but I have not yet obtained or read this paper. It looks like it will discuss Qatar in some detail.
 * 3) The third link is a policy brief (Roberts, 2019). This one stresses the Islamist side of soft power whilst showing that Qatari soft power goals are not wholly islamist. That groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood are funded, but that Qatar has and wishes to retain good relations with the U.S.
