SOFT POWER PLAYED ON THE HARDWOOD United States Diplomacy through Basketball by Joseph B. Eyen Dr. Nigel Boyle, Political Studies, Pitzer College Dr. Geoffrey Herrera, Political Studies, Pitzer College A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Arts with Honors in Political Studies Pitzer College Claremont, California 4 May 2015 2 ABSTRACT This thesis demonstrates the importance of basketball as a form of soft power and a diplomatic asset to better achieve American foreign policy, which is defined and referred to as basketball diplomacy. Basketball diplomacy is also a lens to observe the evolution of American power from 1893 through present day. Basketball connects and permeates foreign cultures and effectively disseminates American influence unlike any other form of soft power, which is most powerfully illustrated by the United States’ basketball relationship with China. American basketball diplomacy will become stronger and connect with more countries with greater influence, and exist without relevant competition, until the likely rise of China in the indefinite future.

  • FIFA and UEFA Address Various Urgent Matters
    Media Release Date: 15/02/2007 Communiqué aux médias No. 021 Medien-Mitteilung FIFA and UEFA address various urgent matters Coordination meeting FIFA President Joseph S. Blatter and UEFA President Michel Platini, accompanied by a delegation from each governing body, met in Zurich today Thursday 15 February 2007 to discuss a number of urgent matters. The meeting focused on problems regarding players’ agents, insurance for clubs and the players who they release for international duty and the coordinated international match calendar. With regard to the latter issue, it was noted that, in December 2007, there will be a collision due to scheduled fixtures in the UEFA Champions League and the FIFA Club World Cup. The two governing bodies will now examine two possible solutions to this problem as soon as possible. At the same time, the two bodies agreed to create a committee, composed of representatives of all of football’s stakeholders (confederations, associations, leagues, clubs and players’ representatives), in order to harmonise the coordinated international match calendar at world level up to 2014. Joseph S. Blatter and Michel Platini both recognised the importance of this meeting. “This meeting came at a vital moment, not only for European football, but also for world football. FIFA cannot implement its sports policies without direct cooperation and collaboration with UEFA. We may not always have the same ideas, but we will have the same approach,” stressed Blatter. Michael Platini, meanwhile, underlined the “unity of vision” shared by FIFA and UEFA, who “need to work together to promote the true values of football and develop our sport together.

    FINAL 2016 FIFA REFORM COMMITTEE STATUS OF REVIEW AND PRELIMINARY RECOMMENDATIONS (OCTOBER 20, 2015) In order to restore confidence in FIFA, significant changes to FIFA’s institutional structure and operational processes are necessary to make them more transparent and accountable. Essential changes to the culture of FIFA are necessary to effect lasting change on the organization and to restore FIFA’s reputation so that it can focus on its mission: to promote football throughout the world. 2016 FIFA REFORM COMMITTEE Members of the 2016 FIFA Reform Committee were appointed by the six Confederations of FIFA in August of 2015 and have been led by an independent chairman, Dr. Francois Carrard. The Reform Committee met in Bern, Switzerland on September 2 and 3, 2015 and again from October 16 through 18, 2015. Further meetings are planned for mid-November 2015. The Reform Committee plans to issue its report to the Executive Committee of FIFA at its December 2015 meeting in order to recommend relevant and appropriate changes to the statutes and regulations of FIFA to address this crisis in confidence with the goal to improve the governance, transparency and culture of FIFA. It is expected that these recommendations and proposed changes to the statutes, if approved by the Executive Committee, will be submitted for consideration by the FIFA Congress in February 2016. The status of the work in progress is set forth below: REFORM PRINCIPLES At this stage two sets of principles are proposed: Principles of governance reform Principles of leadership for FIFA to effect cultural change.

It was founded as a sports club of Madrid by Basque students sympathetic to Athletic Bilbao. The team in the Spanish capital will no longer be a subsidiary in 1921, when it dismembered the Basque team. However, the similarity of uniforms, names and badges, arose because of the way the Madrid club was created, remained. His best period came between 1939 and 1975, winning seven of the ten titles in the Spanish league, the 1962 European Cup and finishing second in the UEFA Champions League in 1974. The runner-up in 1974, by the way, brought Atletico a curious position of the first intercontinental cup club, not winning the most important continental interclub trophy: the team defeated the Argentines from Independiente, not winning the UEFA Champions Cup, lost to Bayern Munich. The German club gave the Spanish place. Atletico will again be a Champions League finalist in 2014 and 2016 without winning it. He previously won the UEFA Europa League in 2010 and 2012, a title he will win again in 2018.
