Qatar is bidding to become the negotiating venue for an end to the 10-year war in Afghanistan. A small peninsular nation the size of Connecticut that juts out of Saudi Arabia on the Persian Gulf, Qatar keeps punching above its weight on the international scene. It has a per-capita income nearly double America's ($84,000 vs. $47,200), and its 350,000 native-born citizens employ about 1.7 million workers, mostly from India, Bangladesh and the Philippines.
In 1995, the Sandhurst-trained Qatari heir apparent, Sheik Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani, was growing impatient with his indolent father, the emir, Sheik Kalifa bin Hamad al-Thani. The rest of the Gulf region was surging, but Qatar was bone-lazy and surpassed by all its Gulf neighbors.

Historically, the Al Thani family had been one of the only centers of potential opposition to the reigning Amir, with merchant families or the religious establishment having been politically neutralized due to a variety of historical and structural reasons. Nevertheless, in relation to both groups the state has pursued a nuanced policy of simultaneous co-option and political incapacitation. Meanwhile, steady rises in oil and gas revenues allowed the state to significantly deepen its capacity...
