It is well known that high-level international sport is an instrument of power, as seen right now in the sanctions on Russian sport after the invasion of Ukraine by Russian troops. We invite empirical, theoretical, and methodological papers from postgraduate students, early-career researchers, established academics and practitioners that address and interrogate, from a critical and global perspective, cultural, social, political, and experiential frameworks of sport.

In seeking to respond to many of the most significant and pressing factors currently confronting the sports industry, the conference theme for 2020 will be ‘the global politics of sport’. We particularly welcome abstracts from PhD students, early-career researchers and established academics whose research sheds critical light on the global opportunities, challenges and/or threats currently facing contemporary sport.

The date of the conference coincides with the day the UK is set to leave the European Union. We would especially welcome papers that explore the potential impact of Brexit on sport and its role in the wider politics of identity in the UK and Europe. However, the conference is not restricted to neither Brexit nor UK sport-politics. Submissions that deal with all aspects of sport, politics and identity, from all relevant disciplines, are welcome. 

Diplomacy & Statecraft should be read by all those who have a professional or general concern with international history and the contemporary conduct of international affairs. It offers regular articles on diplomatic history, together with ’professional interest’ items, such as reviews of recently declassified documents.

This workshop will discuss and analyse how this shift in public policy has affected the interaction between public authorities and sport organisations in different countries. What kind of strategies has New Public Management brought about for governments to engage with sport organisations, and vice versa?

The specialist group Sport and Politics within the Political Studies Association organizes separate, annual conferences on various sports related themes. Next year, 2016, it’s the 10th Anniversary of this conference series, and the theme is Sport, Politics and Social Justice. International submissions are welcome.
