Abstract
With the beginning of the process of globalization in the West Asian region, from 2004 onwards, the United Arab Emirates changed its foreign policy to get out of isolation. This change was based on fundamental principles such as attention to development, economy and attention to neighbors in the matter of foreign policy. This country adopted these principles with a tool called economic diplomacy in the sense of using the economy to increase political bargaining power. One of the important destinations of this UAE diplomacy in the shadow of the neighborhood policy was the country of Qatar. The UAE has chosen Qatar because this country has a potential economic capacity and also has the ability to improve its regional and extra-regional position. Now, with this introduction, the main question of this research can be the economic diplomacy of the United Arab Emirates with Qatar. What challenges and opportunities does it contain? explained. The research method of this article is qualitative and with a descriptive and analytical approach. Also, articles, books and internet sites can be used as tools for collecting information. Since this research is practical It refrains from giving hypothesis. It is worth mentioning that by examining and analyzing the information available in the field of economic diplomacy of the United Arab Emirates with Qatar, it was estimated that the two countries have suitable investment capacities in cultural, economic and military dimensions, but political obstacles such as the attitude of the brotherhood of Qatar's foreign policy, Regional and extra-regional actors such as Saudi Arabia and others play a role in the challenges.
