Sport and Foreign Policy in a Globalizing World
Steven J. Jackson, Steven Haigh
The overall aim of this compilation is to highlight the many ways in which sport and foreign policy are converging within an increasingly globalized world. Our collection draws upon a wide range of international experts including an interdisciplinary group of scholars, an investigative journalist and a Special Adviser to the UN Secretary-General on Sport for Development and Peace. From a diversity of perspectives they discuss, debate and reflect upon the role and significance of sport and foreign policy in a globalizing world. We begin our analysis by examining the United Nations' most recent efforts to use sport to achieve a wide range of diplomatic goals that converge on development and peace. Ingrid Beutler, who works closely with the Special Adviser to the UN Secretary-General on Sport for Development and Peace, outlines the role of sport and physical education as essential tools to meet these goals.
