Definition of an Amateur The definition of an amateur as drawn up by the respec­ tive International Federations of Sport is recognized for the admission of athletes taking part in the Oympic Games. Where there is no International Federation governing a sport, the definition shall be drawn up by the Organizing Committee, in agreement with the I.O.C. The National Association, which in each country governs each particular sport, must certify on the special form that each competitor is an amateur in accordance with the rules of the International Federation governing that sport. This declaration must also be countersigned by the National Olympic Committee of that country. This committee must also declare that it considers the com­ petitor an amateur according to the definition of the International Federation in question. IO yrarb iL CO I / O IC ud euqèhto i lb iB : ecruoS 2. Necessary qualifications for Representing a Country Only those who are Nationals or naturalized subjects of a country, or of a state which is part of that country, may represent that country in the Olympic Games. Those who have already competed in the Olympic Games cannot compete in future Olympic Games for another nation even if they have become naturalized subjects of that nation, except in the case of conquest or the creation of a new state ratified by treaty. In the case of natural­ ization, the naturalized subject must give proof that he was an amateur in his native country at the time of changing his nationality. An athlete taking part in the Olympic Games must satisfy the following conditions: (a) Must not be, or knowingly have become, a pro­ fessional in the sport for which he is entered or in any other sport. (b) Must not have received reimbursement or compen­ sation for loss of salary. A holiday given under the normal conditions of a business or profession, or a holiday accorded under the same condi­ tions on the occasion of the Olympic Games, and pro­ vided that it does not lead to a reimbursement for lost salary, direct or indirect, does not come within the pro­ vision of Section b. Finally each athlete must sign the following declaration on his honour: T T yrarb iL CO I / O IC ud euqèhto i lb iB : ecruoS "I, the undersigned, declare on my honour that I am an amateur according to the Olympic Rules of amateurism."

In this article, I will discuss the role of sport and how sports organizations responded to the increasing hostilities. What happens to the claimed ‘un-political sport’ when the context in which it takes place becomes ever more politicized? Should sport take a stand or should it stick to the favourite position of Western sporting officials in the 1930s that ‘sport and politics should not mix’? What can be sport’s main contribution in times of conflict and war? Although I shall here have a particular emphasis on the small, occupied nations in Europe, I shall also discuss the attitudes and politics of the IOC and other international sports organizations in the critical years leading up to and into the war: Was it possible to keep the Olympics going? Based on recent research with primary and secondary sources, archive materials from the IOC and other organizations, as well as international research literature, I conclude that sport’s symbolic ambiguity as it related to peace and war was reflected in the different ways in which sportspeople and organizations reacted to WWII.

  • CHAPTER 1 SPECIAL AGENTS, SPECIAL THREATS: Creating the Office of the Chief Special Agent, 1914-1933
    CHAPTER 1 SPECIAL AGENTS, SPECIAL THREATS: Creating the Office of the Chief Special Agent, 1914-1933 CHAPTER 1 8 SPECIAL AGENTS, SPECIAL THREATS Creating the Office of the Chief Special Agent, 1914-1933 World War I created a diplomatic security crisis for the United States. Under Secretary of State Joseph C. Grew afterwards would describe the era before the war as “diplomatic serenity – a fool’s paradise.” In retrospect, Grew’s observation indicates more the degree to which World War I altered how U.S. officials perceived diplomatic security than the actual state of pre-war security.1 During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the Department had developed an effective set of security measures; however, those measures were developed during a long era of trans-Atlantic peace (there had been no major multi-national wars since Napoleon’s defeat at Waterloo in 1814). Moreover, those measures were developed for a nation that was a regional power, not a world power exercising influence in multiple parts of the world. World War I fundamentally altered international politics, global economics, and diplomatic relations and thrust the United States onto the world stage as a key world power. Consequently, U.S. policymakers and diplomats developed a profound sense of insecurity regarding the content of U.S. Government information. The sharp contrast between the pre- and post-World War I eras led U.S. diplomats like Grew to cast the pre-war era in near-idyllic, carefree terms, when in fact the Department had developed several diplomatic security measures to counter acknowledged threats.

Master of Science (History), May, 1984, 237epp.,, 4 illustrations, bibliography, 99 titles. This thesis examines Imperial, Weimar, and Nazi Ger- many's attempt to use the Berlin Olympic Games to bring its citizens together in national consciousness and simultane- ously enhance Germany's position in the international com- munity. The sources include official documents issued by both the German and American Olympic Committees as well as newspaper reports of the Olympic proceedings. This eight chapter thesis discusses chronologically the beginnings of the Olympic movement in Imperial Germany, its growth during the Weimar and Nazi periods, and its culmination in the 1936 Berlin Games. Each German government built and improved upon the previous government's Olympic experiences with the National Socialist regime of Adolf Hitler reaping the benefits of forty years of German Olympic participation and preparation.

I N T R O D U C T I O N In 1952 the Soviet Union, after years of having castigated the Olympic movement as a ‘vehicle of capitalism and imperialism’, began to realize the tremendous propaganda value of participating in the Olympic Games. In the tow of Moscow, East Germany also tried to enter the Olympic arena. Its main objective was not the development of sports per se but rather to use the Games for the country’s predominant ambition to be formally and internationally recognized as an independent, sovereign state. This had been an intent pursued ever since the foundation of the East German Democratic Republic (GDR) three years earlier, and was just as vehemently frustrated by the Federal Republic of West Germany (FRG), which claimed the status of being the only legal, democratically elected German state. Primarily through the initiative of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), joint German-German teams participated – with the Winter Olympics always preceding the Summer Games – in 1956 at Cortina d’Ampezzo/Italy and Melbourne, in 1960 at Squaw Valley/USA and Rome, and at Innsbruck/Austria and Tokyo in 1964; not under a German flag but rather under one with the five Olympic rings.
