Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time, this book examines the strategies of leaders of emerging nations to use sport as a tool for reaching social, economic, cultural, political, technological or environmental goals and gaining international prestige. It assesses whether sport can really be an effective tool in international development. The book explores the unique challenges, issues and opportunities offered by sport for development in emerging nations. Bringing together case studies of sport and development in countries including Brazil, China, Czech Republic, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Poland, Qatar, South Africa, South Korea and Turkey, the book looks at policies designed to achieve development through, by and for sport, and whether they have achieved their socio-economic objectives. It considers the way that emerging nations have used major international sports events as political and developmental projects, as well as the importance of sporting infrastructure, professional leagues, participation programmes and the influence of nationalism and ideology. With a truly global perspective, this book is important reading for any student, researcher or policy-maker with interest in sport management, sport development, development studies, international economics, globalisation or political science.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper is a case study of the Games of the New Emerging Forces (GANEFO) and its uneasy relationship with the IOC. GANEFO was an international multi-sport event that took place in Djakarta, Indonesia, in November 1963. Approximately 3000 athletes and officials from - but not necessarily officiall representing - anywhere from 35 to 51 nations (estimates at the time varied) met in the Indonesian capital and competed in 20 athletics events (virtually all of them Olympic and Western sports) as well as cultural festivities. Athletes hailed primarily from recently decolonized countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, which were labelled the "new emerging forces" by Indonesian President Sukarno in his attempt to situate his nation as a regional power. The largest teams (after the hosts), however, represented the Second World, the People's Republic of China and the Soviet Union (and there were athletes in attendance who travelled from Western European nations). In such an environment, GANEFO was an explicit attempt to link sport to the politics of anti-imperialism (although its genesis was also related to diplomatic problems that arose from Indonesia's hosting of the IV Asian Games in 1962). In response, the IOC expressed concern to the IFs that athletes might compromise their eligibility for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics by competing against athletes from non-recognized countries and, following GANEFO, athletes from Indonesia and North Korea faced such sanctions. Beyond any sporting consequences, however, Sukarno intended GANEFO to be the sporting arm of a larger unrealized political movement, but except for an Asian GANEFO hosted by Cambodia in 1966, the Games themselves were never held again. The report is divided in five sections that proceed along thematic and chronological lines : 1) Events that led to GANEFO, primarily the controversies that arose at the IV Asian Games in Djakarta in 1962, and the increasing challenges posed by political intererence in sport; 2) Preparations for GANEFO and the IOC response to these events; 3) GANEFO itseld in November 1963; 4) Debates surrounding the IOC and IF response to GANEFO; and 5) the impact of GANEFO on sport in 1964 and afterwards.

This book was released on with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research specifically examined aspects in relation to the Regional Games and particularly in relation to the Far Eastern Championships and the African Games, organized in the prewar period, and the resistance movement of the GANEFO Games, hosted in the troubled postwar context. The research approach that was adopted in this project seeks to identify the structures and processes in development at play across these two periods in the Olympic world. This was done by the archival analysis of several documents (such as correspondence, minutes, proceedings etc.) found at the Olympic Studies Centre of the IOC. The method that was followed for the analysis of the collected documents was the Qualitative Content Analysis (QCA) and more specifically the variation of the Ethnographic Content Analysis (ECA). The prewar period provided evidence of colonial interests in the diffusion of modern sport and a concentration of power on the IOC as a key international organization in enabling and/or constraining any other sporting regional movements to survive or cease. The prewar period, especially in the context of Asia, witnessed the existence of Eastern imperialism which added another pressure on sporting structures, beyond the western cultural imperialist practices and forces. In relation to the postwar period, the major concerns on the part of the Western elite represented within the IOC were linked to a fear of a threat to the global / universalist claims of the IOC. The organization and hosting of the Games of the Newly Emerging Forces (GANEFO Games) in 1965 posed a real threat of a breakaway movement to the IOC and reflects part of the challenges and tensions raised in the postwar context.

Book excerpt: In the second half of the twentieth century, the Olympics played an important role in the politics of the Cold War and was part of the conflicts between the Capitalist Block, the Socialist Block and Third World countries. The Games of the New Emerging Forces (GANEFO) is one of the best examples of the politicization of sport and the Olympics in the Cold War era. From the 1980s onward, the Olympics has facilitated communication and cooperation between nations in the post–Cold War era and contributed to the formation of a new world order. In August 2016, the Games of the XXXI Olympiad were held in Rio de Janeiro, making Brazil the first South American country to host the Summer Olympics. This was widely regarded as a new landmark event in the history of the modern Olympic movement. From the GANEFO to Rio, the Olympic Games have witnessed the shifting balance in international politics and world economy. This book aims at understanding the transformation of the Olympics over the past decades and tries to explain how the Olympic movement played its part in world politics, the world economy and international relations against the background of the rise of developing countries. The chapters in this book were published as a special issue in The International Journal of the History of Sport.

Download or read book Sex Testing written by Lindsay Pieper and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2016-05-30 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1968, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) implemented sex testing for female athletes at that year's Games. When it became clear that testing regimes failed to delineate a sex divide, the IOC began to test for gender--a shift that allowed the organization to control the very idea of womanhood. Ranging from Cold War tensions to gender anxiety to controversies around doping, Lindsay Parks Pieper explores sex testing in sport from the 1930s to the early 2000s. Pieper examines how the IOC in particular insisted on a misguided binary notion of gender that privileged Western norms. Testing evolved into a tool to identify--and eliminate--athletes the IOC deemed too strong, too fast, or too successful. Pieper shows how this system punished gifted women while hindering the development of women's athletics for decades. She also reveals how the flawed notions behind testing--ideas often sexist, racist, or ridiculous--degraded the very idea of female athleticism.

Download or read book Soft Power written by Hendrik W. Ohnesorge and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-22 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the phenomenon of soft power in international relations. In the context of current discourses on power and global power shift s, it puts forward a comprehensive taxonomy of soft power and outlines a methodological roadmap for its empirical study. To that end, the book classifies soft power into distinct components - resources, instruments, reception, and outcomes - and identifies relevant indicators for each of these categories. Moreover, the book integrates previously neglected aspects into the concept of soft power, including the significance of (political) personalities. A broad range of historical examples is drawn upon to illustrate the effects of soft power in international relations in an innovative and analytically differentiated way. A central methodological contribution of this book consists in highlighting the value of comparative-historical analysis (CHA) as a promising approach for empirical analyses of the soft power of different actors on the international stage. By introducing a comprehensive taxonomy of soft power, the book offers an innovative and substantiated perspective on a pivotal phenomenon in today’s international relations. As the forces of attraction in world politics continue to gain in importance, it provides a valuable asset for a broad readership. This book was the winner of the 2021 ifa (German Institute for Foreign Cultural Relations) Research Award on Foreign Cultural Policy. “In this important and thoughtful book, Hendrik Ohnesorge explains and advances our knowledge of the ways that soft power, public diplomacy, and charismatic personal diplomacy are shaping the international relations of our global information age.” Joseph S. Nye, Jr., Harvard University and author of The Future of Power

Download or read book Sports Diplomacy written by Stuart Murray and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-06-13 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers an accessible overview of the role sport plays in international relations and diplomacy. Sports diplomacy has previously been defined as an old but under-studied aspect of the estranged relations between peoples, nations and states. These days, it is better understood as the conscious, strategic and ongoing use of sport, sportspeople and sporting events by state and non-state actors to advance policy, trade, development, education, image, reputation, brand, and people-to-people links. In order to better understand the many occasions where sport and diplomacy overlap, this book presents four new, inter-disciplinary and theoretical categories of sports diplomacy: traditional, ‘new’, sport-as-diplomacy, and sports anti-diplomacy. These categories are further validated by a large number of case studies, ranging from the Ancient Olympiad to the recent appearance of esoteric, government sports diplomacy strategies, and beyond, to the activities of non-state sporting actors such as F.C. Barcelona, Colin Kaepernick and the digital world of e-sports. As a result, the landscape of sports diplomacy becomes clearer, as do the pitfalls and limitations of using sport as a diplomatic tool. This book will be of much interest to students of diplomacy, foreign policy, sports studies, and International Relations in general.
