About this book
The book critically addresses the relationship between sport and diplomacy posing new questions of these two enduring features of global society.
Reviews
‘Sport and Diplomacy deepens insights into the interplay of the sporting world and world politics, making a convincing case for the efficacy of soft power. The global coverage highlights Asia, Europe, and North America, remarkably providing, in one volume, studies of sports in Afghanistan before World War II, a few on China during the Cold War, the Reagan revolution, and French club sports, among others. Individual chapters address sports as a diplomatic weapon or tool, and the transnational as well as state-centered, public perspective on sports. This collection adds a conceptual section that truly advances the field of sports history, and embeds it theoretically in diplomatic history.’
