| Background: | Ruled by the Al-Thani family since the mid-1800s , Qatar transformed itself from a poor British protectorate noted mainly for pearling into an independent state with significant oil and natural gas revenues. During the late 1980s and early 1990s , the Qatari economy was crippled by a continuous siphoning off of petroleum revenues by the Amir , who had ruled the country since 1972. His son , the current Amir HAMAD bin Khalifa Al-Thani , overthrew him in a bloodless coup in 1995. In 2001 , Qatar resolved its longstanding border disputes with both Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. As of 2007 , oil and natural gas revenues had enabled Qatar to attain the highest per capita income in the world. |
