Abstract

The Gulf region in 2017 experienced a diplomatic crisis that was quite complicated so that it could be said as a regional conflict which was manifested in the form of a blockade and the closure of diplomatic relations between them. This crisis mainly involves Saudi and its allies to blockade Qatar in various ways. This conflict made Kuwait emerge as a mediator trying to restore the diplomatic situation in the Gulf region back to normal. By using literature studies and qualitative research methods in analyzing the data, it can be seen that Kuwait succeeded in neutralizing and slowly returning to the situation in the Gulf region to open the blockade and re-establish diplomatic relations with Qatar. So it can be concluded that Kuwait formed a narrative of “solidarity” and “stability” to reconcile the conflict situation.

Bahasa Abstract

Kawasan Teluk pada tahun 2017 mengalami krisis diplomatik yang cukup pelik hingga dapat dikatakan sebagai konflik regional yang dimanifestasikan dalam bentuk blokade dan penutupan hubungan diplomasi diantara mereka. Krisis ini utamanya melibatkan Saudi dan sekutunya untuk memblokade Qatar dalam berbagai sisi. Konflik ini menjadikan Kuwait muncul sebagai mediator yang berupaya untuk mengembalikan situasi diplomatik kawasan Teluk kembali seperti semula. Dengan menggunakan studi pustaka dan metode penelitian kualitatif dalam menganalisis data, dapat diketahui bahwa Kuwait berhasil untuk menetralisir dan perlahan dapat mengembalikan situasi kawasan Teluk untuk membuka blokade dan kembali menjalin hubungan diplomatik dengan Qatar. Sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa Kuwait membentuk narasi “solidaritas” dan “stabilitas” untuk mendamaikan situasi konflik.
