My research question is: 
“To what extent was Qatar’s hosting of the 2022 FIFA World
Cup driven by sports washing or stigma management strategies, and what were the
underlying factors that influenced this decision?”
What i want to prove in this dissertation is that:
Qatar
wanted to host the world cup to bridge the gap between the Arab world in the
west (stigma management) – pride for their country and the Arab world – I do
not think that they wanted to host the world cup to wash away poor human rights
records – if anything it brought light to mistreatment of migrant workers – I think
that the world cup was a chance for Qatar to show pride for its country
The methodology i want to use is content analysis: I want to use news articles to explain the successes of qatar using counter stigma management with the world cup to forge way into a respectable seat in foreign affairs
In the files attached i have explained what theory I want to use : Rebecca Adler-Nissen’s Stigma management theory. 

The South Pacific has traditionally been considered a quiet and secure backyard for Australia. However, recent developments have introduced new dynamics. A remarkable case is the 2022 security agreement between China and the Solomon Islands. This is the very first agreement allowing China to deploy its security officers in a Pacific island country, which might demonstrate the growing ambition of China in this region. China’s action in the Solomon Islands, as well as other assertive diplomatic behaviour, has sparked a series of diplomatic responses from Australia and its allies, among which foreign aid is a critical tool.
Please study the China-Australia aid competition in Fiji, with a detailed investigation of documents and projects.
