Poliittinen historia Marraskuu 2016 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tämän tutkimuksen tavoitteena on selvittää, miten nykyaikainen olympialiike syntyi ja miten se on kasvanut nykyiseen laajuuteensa sekä miten kansainvälinen politiikka on olympiakisoihin vaikuttanut. Tutkimuksessa pyritään selvittämään, mitkä ovat olleet olympialiikkeen kannalta merkittävimmät boikotit kesäolympialaisissa, mitkä maat ovat kisoja boikotoineet ja mikä on ollut boikottien syynä. Kansainväliseen olympialiikkeeseen vaikuttaneiden poliittisten tekijöiden ohella tarkastellaan kesäolympiakisojen isäntäkaupungin valintaa ja suurvaltojen menestystä toisen maailmansodan jälkeisissä kisoissa vuosina 1948 - 1988. Tutkimuksen primäärilähteenä ovat KOK:n suomalaisjäsenten J.W. Rangellin, Paavo Honkajuuren, Peter Tallbergin ja Pirjo Häggmanin arkistot sekä aiheesta kirjoitettu

Introduction Football, the world’s favourite sport, the Beautiful Game, soccer, fußball, fútbol…. watched by millions, billions in fact, played in every country in the world (probably), the most active agent of wellbeing on the planet (discuss!), started everywhere it is claimed, but was given form somewhere. Who were the shapers of this wonderful sport we’ve known how to play instinctively since we could toe-poke a ball into our parent’s hands? What were their dreams? Where were the rules of play set down that allow Messi, Ronaldo et al to show us their genius with a ball? Where did it all start? In the north of England in the 19th Century life was tough and the need for work drove people to the towns. Industry provided work and drove the economy that sent a flood of pink ink across the globe. Sport created the discipline needed to maintain the arrogance of empire. Victorian organisation provided the need for structures, strictures and codification. Cricketing gentlemen were looking for a winter sport to keep the blood flowing during the cold, damp winters. The components were there in an English industrial city whose special geography and creative spirit were equal to the task of forging the ultimate competitive team game. Just as Florence had taken art to a new level in the Renaissance, Sheeld would shape the game of Association football, the game the world would know as football. Why Sheeld? An industrial town situated amongst hills and valleys carved by fast flowing rivers, harnessed to make the world’s cutlery.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the different facets of country image through the evolution of the Olympic movement. Countries and governments used and will continue to use the Games to renovate infrastructure, build new facilities, expose local products and new technologies, leverage tourism, improve the local and international political and social image, promote tourism and show superiority on the sports field that will enable them to try and reach their economic, political and social goals. The article is significant as it analyzes how countries, cities, communities, and other pressure groups th used the Olympic Games, since the revival of the Olympic Movement in the late 19 century, the new traditions after World War I, the political era after World War II and during the Cold War, the commercialized era and the legacy-oriented era in early 21st century. KEYWORDS country image, Olympic Games, sports diplomacy, nation branding Introduction For over 2,500 years, from the athletic competitions in 776 BC that were held in Ancient Olympia in Greece to the Modern Olympics in the nineteenth, twentieth and twenty-first centuries, the Olympic Games were used as a leverage tool for economic, social and political goals (Dubinsky, 2019; Miller, 2004a; Preuss, 2015).
