Abstract
The circumstances and contexts that set Qatar on a road of prosperity are gaining momentum every new day. From a small British colony country as late as 1970, Qatar has undergone evolution beginning with settling on its current name after numerous suggestions for the Arab state. Thus, the study interest was to answer two research questions; what is the basis of the success stories of Qatar and lessons for other third world countries? And Is Qatar headed to another level of categorization to leverage into the status of first world countries? The study is mainly guided by structural functionalism theory. The study entailed a systematic literature review approach through which various current literature were analyzed. The progress is largely attributed to the effective strategies entailing financial investment, cultural branding, and policy re-engineering. The political stature and efficient constitution controlled by effective leadership are contributions to milestones observed in the country.

This was done to help the state's long-term development. Qatar was supposed to join the United Arab Emirates in the early 1970s, along with its neighboring countries. It turned down this offer, along with Bahrain, and declared an independent state instead (Maunder, 2021). After Crown Prince Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani took over leadership of Qatar from 1995, he implemented a series of socio-economic reforms including increased freedom for Qataris, protection of human rights principles, and democratic elections in 1999 that permitted women to vote
