“…The combined overseas investment of the six states now exceeds 3 trillion US Dollars through their sovereign wealth fund investment arms [21]. They spend very large amounts of money in purchasing military-grade arms from international markets, creating competition among the exporter countries vying for influence in the GCC states [22]. The economic and political security of these states and sustenance of the status quo in a highly volatile region are quintessential for the global economy [17].…”

This paper studies the local perspective on innovation and entrepreneurship in the resource-based state of Qatar. The effective utilization of abundant natural resources (oil and gas) have propelled the country’s rapid economic development over the last four decades. However, accelerating decarbonization efforts of the global energy system due to climate change put the future value of these hydrocarbon resources into doubt and hence the country’s revenue streams from international trade. Rapidly growing the local population adds further pressure to the social welfare system amid dwindling oil and gas revenues for the state. The argument for economic diversification and theoretical foundations of innovation and entrepreneurship in a resource-rich state are discussed. A survey to measure the attitude of the residents in Qatar towards innovation and state-led initiatives is prepared and conducted with people living in the country. The analysis of the survey shows that Qatari residents are relatively risk-averse and state-dependent in their pursuit of new entrepreneurial opportunities. We identify three possible reasons for such an outcome; they are, (1) the country’s unique economic structure (natural resource-based), (2) demographic structure (expatriates vs. citizens), and (3) lack of previous experience in innovation and entrepreneurship (path dependency) in a relatively young country. The country’s spectacular success in the last three decades has become its Achilles-heel in decoupling the current economy away from hydrocarbon dependence.

“…Open-sourced media data were used to observe how such archetypal sellers responded to the arms deal. Understanding their peculiar behaviors, which primarily depend on their strategic intent, is expected to help establish better arms deal discussion agendas for recipients (Kim and Sheikh, 2018).…”

Understanding the arms suppliers' strategic intent will contribute to the recipient's agenda-setting efforts. Previous studies address the three types of patterns in their arms export policymaking regarding suppliers' policy objectives: hegemonic, industrial, and restrictive. Despite an intuitive understanding of taxonomy, empirical studies of their behavioral patterns have been uncommon. This is mainly due to the confidentiality of data. This study is to understand the different features of the archetypal suppliers empirically. Open-sourced media data is used to observe how the three supplier types reacted to the arms deal. News articles published in the United States, France, and Russia related to the First Korean Fighter Jet Program are analyzed using topic models. The results indicate how the respective nature of the three archetypal suppliers can be better understood. Understanding their intent is expected to contribute to future agenda-setting efforts.
