Summary, etc. | Le sport est entré dans l’arène des relations internationales dès le début du XXe et n’en est jamais ressorti depuis. Une approche géopolitique du sport est donc possible dans le cadre de la définition de Lacoste qui insiste sur la place des représentations utilisées dans les conflits. Le sport, qui est un affrontement symbolique, se prête ainsi bien à la manipulation de la part de certains acteurs. À partir d’une déconstruction du système olympique, qui a développé les Jeux, manifestation planétaire la plus médiatisée, on peut analyser le rôle de chaque acteur et voir comment ils utilisent le sport à des fins de relations internationales. Le Comité international olympique (CIO) joue sa partition en tentant de devenir un acteur des relations internationales notamment au travers de la construction de sa propre géographie grâce à son droit de reconnaissance et en affirmant sa primauté face à des rivaux potentiels dont l’ONU. Les États utilisent le sport afin de distiller des messages vis-à-vis de leur population et de la communauté internationale au travers d’une « diplomatie sportive ». Enfin récemment, un nouvel acteur est apparu avec les ONG qui tentent aussi de se servir du sport pour communiquer. |
520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
Summary, etc. | Sport has been a tool used in international relations since the dawn of the twentieth century and is still part of the international scene today. A geopolitical approach to sport is therefore useful and reflects Lacoste’s definition of geopolitics, which stresses the role of imagery in conflicts. Sport is actually a symbolic confrontation, and can be manipulated by various actors. First, we describe relations between the various actors in the Olympic movement because the Olympic Games are now the most popular show broadcast in the world and the Olympic movement controls the “family of sport” on an international scale. We then analyze how the International Olympic Committee (IOC) plays its own international relations game. Its power derives from its authority to recognize countries, as does that of the United Nations Organization. Taking part in the Olympic ceremony is proof of international recognition, and many new nations need it. This recognition has created a “sports geography” which is different from the traditional geography of states and sometimes is at odds with it. Moreover, the IOC strives to be an international player to strengthen its own position and to eliminate potential rivals who could run sports at world level. The other key players are states that use or manipulate sport in order to deliver messages to their own people or to the international community. Some create a sport-based diplomacy as an element of soft power. More recently, a new type of actor has begun to use sport : NGOs such as Greenpeace and Amnesty International use sporting events to deliver their own messages. |
