This thesis explains why Saudi Arabia's economic sanctions on Qatar are ineffective. Saudi Arabia cut ties with Qatar and gave Qatar economic sanctions. This conflict occurred because Qatar's policies were not in accordance with the wishes of Saudi Arabia and Qatar not wanting to fulfill Saudi Arabia's demands. Actually, the conflict that occurred between Saudi Arabia and several Gulf States with Qatar has happened since decades ago. However, before this conflict occurred, Qatar had a fairly good relationship with Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States by forming the Gulf Cooperation Council. After giving economic sanctions by Saudi Arabia to Qatar, Saudi Arabia gave 13 demands that must be met by Qatar if Qatar wants economic sanctions to be lifted. The provisions of economic sanctions itself aim to ensure that the stability of Qatar will be disrupted and Qatar will surrender until finally meeting the demands of Saudi Arabia and changing its policies in accordance with the wishes of Saudi Arabia. Qatar does not want to obey Saudi Arabia’s demands because Qatar considers that they have the same power as Saudi Arabia, besides that Qatar also has no dependence on Saudi Arabia. Qatar also has relations with Iran and Turkey. As a result of these sanctions, Qatar has difficulty fulfilling food supplies because 80% of Qatar's food supply comes from Gulf countries. In addition, Qatarians were ordered to immediately leave the territory of Saudi Arabia and not be able to perform the Hajj because Saudi Arabia closed the electronic registration system used by Qatari agents to register permits and residents of Qatar were unable to obtain visas due to the absence of a visa. diplomatic relations between the two countries. By using the theory of success of sanctions according to Johan Galtung, the ineffectiveness of economic sanctions is because economic sanctions from Saudi Arabia does not meet the indicators of the success and effectiveness of economic sanctions.
