  • Sport, Nationalism and Globalization: Relevance, Impact, Consequences
    Hitotsubashi Journal of Arts and Sciences 49 (2008), pp.43-53. Ⓒ Hitotsubashi University SPORT, NATIONALISM AND GLOBALIZATION: RELEVANCE, IMPACT, CONSEQUENCES * ALAN BAIRNER Relevance International Sport At the most basiclevel of analysis, it is easy to see the extent to whichsport, arguably more than any other form of social activity in the modern world, facilitates flag waving and the playing of national anthems, both formally at moments such as medal ceremonies and informally through the activities of fans. Indeed there are many political nationalists who fear that by acting as such a visible medium for overt displays of national sentiment, sport can actually blunt the edge of serious political debate. No matter how one views the grotesque caricatures of national modes of behavior and dress that so often provide the colorful backdrop to major sporting events, one certainly cannot escape the fact that nationalism, in some form or another, and sport are closely linked. It is important to appreciate, however, that the precise nature of their relationship varies dramatically from one political setting to another and that, as a consequence, it is vital that we are alert to a range of different conceptual issues. For example, like the United Nations, sportʼs global governing bodies, such as the International OlympicCommittee or the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), consist almost exclusively of representatives not of nations but rather of sovereign nation states. It is also worth noting that pioneering figures in the organization of international sport, such as Baron Pierre de Coubertin who established the modern Olympics in 1896, commonly revealed a commitment to both internationalism and the interests of their own nation states.

Consider the consumption of sports events. People across the globe regularly view satellite broadcasts of English Premier League and European Champions League matches. In these games the best players drawn from Europe, South America and Africa perform. The players use equipment – boots, balls, uniforms etc - that are designed in the West, financed by multinational corporations such as Adidas and Nike and hand-stitched, in the case of soccer balls, in Asia using child labour. This equipment is then sold, at significant profit, to a mass market in the towns and cities of North America and Europe. Several transnational corporations are involved in the production and consumption phases of global soccer – some of whom both own the media companies and have, as in the case of Sky TV, shareholdings in the soccer clubs they screen as part of what sociologists term the ‘global media sport complex’. The global flows that pattern

  • Sport Development in Kuwait: Perception of Stakeholders On
    SPORT DEVELOPMENT IN KUWAIT: PERCEPTION OF STAKEHOLDERS ON THE SIGNIFICANCE AND DELIVERY OF SPORT DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School at The Ohio State University By Badi Aldousari, M.A. * * * * * 2004 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Dr. Packianathan Chelladurai, Advisor Dr. Donna Pastore __________________________ Advisor Dr. Janet Fink College of Education ABSTRACT The current study analyzed the perceptions of 402 stakeholders of Kuwaiti sport regarding the importance of three domains of sport (i.e., mass sport, elite sport, and commercial sport), and the relative emphases to be placed on each of these domains. The respondents were also asked to indicate the organizational forms (public, nonprofit, profit, public-nonprofit combine, and public-profit combine) best suited to deliver related sport services in the country. The stakeholder groups were administrators of federations (n = 57), administrators of clubs (n = 80), administrators of youth centers (n = 50), coaches of clubs (n = 78), coaches of youth centers (n = 57), and elite athletes (n = 70). The gender distribution of the respondents was 355 males and 47 females. They ranged in age from 19 years to 70 years for a mean of 39 years. The statistical procedures included exploratory principal component analysis, computation of Cronbach’s alpha, multivariate analyses of variance (MANOVA) followed by univariate analyses (ANOVA), and chi square analyses. The results provided support for the subscale structure of survey instrument modified from Cuellar (2003). Further analyses indicated that the six groups were almost unanimous in considering elite sport as more critical than the other two domains of sport.

  • Original Article Internationalization and Managing Diversity on the Basis of Professional Basketball Clubs

In that matter we can analyze sport industry through the prism of different forms of internationalization that it is experiencing. There is a wide range of different activities however the main one relates to the migration of sport personnel mainly including players and coaches. This creates a situation of high levels of diversity in the roster of the professional sports club. The degree of difference in an organization may have a different effect on it. It may translate into a different level of efficiency of human resources employed and profitability of the organization and its overall success in the industry and the level of further development. Thus from the point of view of the organization the existing cultural diversity among its human resources must be properly managed. The article contains a brief analysis of the concept of internationalization in sports. Additionally author includes an analysis of The Basketball Migration Report published in 2019 by FIBA and CIES Observatory, which presents data in regards to international basketball transfers in a given basketball season. The article highlights some problems that relate to high degree of diversity that can be noticed in the basketball environment and points out some possible implications for professional club managers.

  • Sport in International Relations Expectations, Possibilities and Effects
    INTERNATIONAL STUDIES INTERDISCIPLINARY POLITICAL AND CULTURAL JOURNAL, Vol. 15, No. 1/2013 49–74, DOI: 10.2478/ipcj‐2013‐0004 Michał Marcin Kobierecki SPORT IN INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS EXPECTATIONS, POSSIBILITIES AND EFFECTS ABSTRACT: The aim of this article is to show how sport can matter in international relations. Sport can be a subject or a tool of international relations. It can be used by states or geopolitical blocks to display their alleged superiority or any other desired characteristic. Governments may desire athletic victories, which are meant to imply, for example, the power of the state and its political and economic system. Participation in sport can also be used for political reasons on an international scale; a number of political objectives can be achieved by states by participating (or not) in sports events. Not only is sport affected by a country’s policies, but on certain occasions sports events can influence states. KEY WORDS: sport, politics, international relations, sport as a political tool. Sport can be considered as one of the most exciting modern phenomena—modern because, in its current form, it was born no longer than 150 years ago, exciting because it wins the interest of millions of people. It is estimated that the London 2012 Olympic Games’ opening ceremony was watched on TV by 900 million people.1 Poland’s most viewed television broadcasts were the European Football Championships in 2012 in which the opening match between Poland and Greece was watched by 15.5 million viewers, and the Salt Lake City 2012 Olympic ski jumping Department of Political Theory and Thought, Faculty of International and Political Studies, University of Lodz, E-mail: [email protected].

  • Globalisation and Sport Policy Barrie Houlihan, Loughborough University
    Globalisation and sport policy Barrie Houlihan, Loughborough University, UK Explaining policy stability and change In the mid-1990s Cerny (1995 among others argued that domestic policy making was increasingly constrained by international economic, political and cultural forces, and Coleman and Perl concluded that globalisation had ‘destabilise[d] traditional divisions of labour between sub-national, national, regional and international authorities’ (1999: 692). Despite the exaggeration that surrounds much of the debate over the nature and the significance of globalisation it remains a central explanatory variable in contemporary sport policy analysis and requires the policy analyst acknowledge the impact of globalisation in blurring distinctions between the international and the domestic. However, simply to note the general significance of non-domestic forces in shaping sport policy at the national level is of little value. What is more important, and is one of the aims of this paper, is to specify as precisely as possible the nature of the external international influences, and to unpack and examine the concept of globalisation as it relates to the sport policy sector. The paper also aims to explain the differential impact of international forces between countries and between sport policy sectors within countries. This paper is consequently divided into two sections, the first of which discusses the nature and significance of three major forces of change which are either, conceptually at least, external to the domestic policy arena, or straddle both the international and the domestic arenas namely: globalisation, commercialization and governmentalisation. The second section examines the character and importance of domestic institutionalised practices – the weight of history – which can either facilitate or constrain policy change.

  • Global Trends and Local Needs – the Trouble with Sport ‘Globalization’
    European Scientific Journal September edition vol. 8, No.21 ISSN: 1857 – 7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857- 7431 GLOBAL TRENDS AND LOCAL NEEDS – THE TROUBLE WITH SPORT ‘GLOBALIZATION’ Majid AL-Busafi, PhD Sultan Qaboos University, Muscat, Oman Abdulmalek Mohammed Ali Banafa, PhD Associate Professor, Aden University, Yemen Abstract Sociologists such as Elias and Dunning (1993), have empirically studied long term processes of change in sport, eliciting attention to trends such as sportization (the increasing formalisation of folk games into regulated pastimes and what is now identified as „modern sport‟), politicization (increasing political control in sport), medicalization (increasing medical specialization engaged in modern sport), technicization (increasing technical capability of sports equipment and even artificial limbs in influencing achievement in sport), and globalization (increasing spread of one sporting model, based on Olympic, secular and Western models internationally). The question in this case is the extent to which the process of globalization has affected the development of Sport. This research paper used research documentation providing access to some of the recent research on globalization and interviewing sport scholars to explore how sport has become a global phenomenon, by examining globalization and its impacts on sport generally, and on coach education specifically (case study). Keywords: Globalization, Sport, Coach Education 83 European Scientific Journal September edition vol. 8, No.21 ISSN: 1857 – 7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857- 7431 The Concept of Globalization Globalization has been one of the most hotly-debated topics over the past few years (The World Bank Group, 2012). Globalization has indeed flattened the earth and opened new international possibilities, paving the way for new ideas and refreshing ways of thinking about the world (Mahbubani et al., 2008).

  • Women's Sports Foundation's 2020 Chasing Equity Report
    Chasing Equity: The Triumphs, Challenges, and Opportunities in Sports for Girls and Women A Women’s Sports Foundation Research Report, January 2020 January Report, Research Sports Foundation A Women’s Our Mission We are the ally, advocate and catalyst for tomorrow’s leaders. We exist to enable girls and women to reach their potential in sports and life. Letter from the CEO THE TIME FOR EQUITY IS NOW At the Women’s Sports Foundation, we recognize that knowledge is power. The WSF’s latest report, Chasing Equity: The Triumphs, Challenges and Opportunities in Sports for Girls and Women shines a light on the current landscape for girls and women in sport reflected in the latest data from nearly 500 research reports and results from a new national survey of more than 2,300 women working in women’s sport. Taking stock of where we are in achieving gender equity in sport requires study, transparency and candor. This groundbreaking report brings together the latest facts and milestones and elevates the voices of women offering fresh insight and perspective. Importantly the report includes calls to action to help propel momentum for change. Stakeholders in all areas of sport, from grassroots to high school, college and elite athletics, collegiate administrators, coaches, policymakers, leaders in the corporate and media sectors all have a critical role to play. The WSF is committed to keeping these conversations at the forefront and working collaboratively with others to accelerate the pace of change. Continued progress depends on comprehensive, up-to-date information in real time. Only when we operate from a shared understanding of the landscape can we ensure thoughtful conversation and sound decision-making necessary for progress.
