Juntos Num Só Ritmo ? Diplomacia e Esporte Internacional

O objetivo é examinar as possíveis relações entre a diplomacia e o esporte internacional. Argumenta-se que o emprego do esporte internacional como instrumento diplomático pode trazer flexibilidade para testar forças e fraquezas de relações diplomáticas além das posições políticas oficiais e explorar mudanças políticas, mas os intercâmbios esportivos podem ser ferramentas para punir ou provocar Estados. Os efeitos mais duradouros do esporte internacional sobre a diplomacia são a suspensão e a sublimação do conflito entre entidades políticas, mas o esporte internacional pode também elevar as tensões nacionais e exacerbar relações complicadas. A diplomacia especializada do esporte internacional cria plataformas para a cooperação entre governos de Estados e atores não-estatais visando ao desenvolvimento, mas muitos governos contraem dívidas enormes e têm que honrar “dívidas diplomáticas” com parceiros que apoiam suas campanhas para sediar eventos esportivos. Além disso, os custos sociais de tais eventos podem ser elevados.
