How Qatar is using secret strategy to rise in POWER : Qatar World cup Case study
A Think School geopolitical case study from December 2022 on why Qatar spent over 200 billion dollars hosting the FIFA World Cup. The presenter argues that Qatar faces an oil dependence, a vulnerable location and a weak global image, and uses the tournament for sportswashing, to attract investors and to build influence through the Qatar Investment Authority. He compares it with the 1936 Berlin Olympics. The caption text covers the whole video, which ends with study material suggestions (a book on propaganda and two videos). The cost, return, ownership, army size and human rights statements are the presenter's claims, not independently checked, and his comparisons of influence and Germany's gas dependence are his opinions. Captions are automatic with errors. Topics are untimed; metadata follows YouTube. Source: https://youtubetotranscript.com/transcript?v=ynVikeFUvW8
