This book narrates how Turkey and Qatar have come to forge a
mutually special relationship. The book argues that throughout the
2000s Turkey and Qatar had pursued similar foreign policies and
aligned their positions on many critical and controversial issues.
By doing so, however, they increasingly isolated themselves in the
Middle East as states challenging the status quo. The claim made
here is that it is this isolation―which became acute in the summer
of 2013―that led the two countries to forge much stronger
relations.
