哈马德和塔米姆时期，内外安全威胁、政权合法性不足以及国家认同缺失等问题，不同程度地冲击着卡塔尔的政权安全。政权安全是卡塔尔国家安全的核心目标，国内和地区安全环境变动引发统治者深层次的政权不安全感，维护政权安全构成了卡塔尔国家行为及其转变的逻辑起点和主要动力。卡塔尔通过支持政治伊斯兰意识形态、实践激进外交政策、重塑国家形象、强化民族主义叙事和转移国内压力等手段，应对政权安全受到的外部冲击和威胁。通过一系列国家行为，卡塔尔成功抵御住“阿拉伯之春”、断交危机等外部安全威胁，解决了国内部落、移民和外籍劳工等群体的国家认同困境，有效维护了本国政权安全。
During the period of Hamad and Tamim，problems such as internal and external security threats，insufficient regime legitimacy and lack of national identity have impacted Qatar’s regime security to varying degrees. Regime security is the core goal of Qatar’s national security. Changes in the domestic and regional security environment have caused the rulers’ deep-seated regime insecurity. Maintaining regime security constitutes the logical starting point and main driving force for Qatar’s state behavior and its transformation. Qatar has responded to external shocks and threats to the regime’s security by supporting political Islamic ideology，practicing radical foreign policies，reshaping the country’s image，strengthening nationalist narratives，and deflecting domestic pressure. Through a series of state behavior，Qatar has successfully resisted external security threats such as the “Arab Spring” and the crisis of breaking diplomatic relations，solved the national identity dilemma of groups such as domestic tribes，immigrants and foreign workers，and effectively maintained the security of its own regime.
