This article uses rare, nationally representative survey data collected before and after the blockade of Qatar that began in June 2017 to assess its impact on citizens’ orientations toward the Gulf Cooperation Council, relations with key foreign countries, and domestic politics. The study illuminates a critical element missing from existing explanations of Qatar’s unforeseen resilience in the face of the blockade, namely the role of ordinary Qataris, who mobilized in defense of the political status quo.

危机，国家合法性和非民主政治参与：卡塔尔如何度过了2017年封锁

本文使用自2017年6月开始卡塔尔封锁之前和之后收集的罕见的，具有全国代表性的调查数据，以评估其对公民对海湾合作委员会取向，与主要外国国家的关系以及国内政治的影响。该研究阐明了卡塔尔面对封锁无法预见的复原力的现有解释中缺少的关键要素，即为捍卫政治现状而动员的普通卡塔尔人的作用。
