Sport and love
This paper proposes a philosophical framework for meaningful and collaborative governance within the field and practice of Sport for Development and Peace (SDP), rooted around the concept of love. Recognizing the breadth of the word ‘love’ in the English language, I dissect this emotion through the help of classical studies and the decolonial, feminist thought of bell hooks. The discussion is organized around different classical translations of t…
Sport and leisure on a remote border island
Deconstructing sport for development and peace in China through assemblage theory
Between hope and cruel optimism? The dangers and possibilities of football in fostering hope for male refugees
An ongoing debate exists on the role of sport for fostering hope in the lives of marginalised communities. Research acknowledges the complexity of agency, hope and emotions within sport in the lives of forced migrants and the danger of evangelical beliefs when thinking of hope as a solution to social problems. This paper presents the case of the ongoing Mediterranean crossings, where asylum-seekers go through deadly journeys to reach safety in Eu…
A practical framework to foster climate action through sport for development and peace
The climate crisis necessitates innovative approaches to foster ecological emotions and motivate pro-environmental action, particularly among young people. This conceptual paper explores how the Sport for Development and Peace (SDP) sector can more effectively address this challenge by drawing insights from game design theories. We propose the Mechanics-Dynamics-Aesthetics (MDA) framework, as a heuristic tool for intentionally designing SDP inter…
Demystifying sportswashing
The article makes an original and significant contribution to international relations in three notable ways. First, we show that international relations scholars should exercise caution in their use of ‘sportswashing’, a term that has swiftly grown in popularity to detail the process through which non-democratic states invest in sport to distract global audiences away from their illegitimate or immoral practices. In heavily critiquing the term, w…
Refugee footballers
Against the background of the recent European 'refugee crisis' and its long-term consequences, this article investigates the research question 'how do footballers with a refugee background experience the process of accessing top-level football?', using ethnographic material and interviews with competitive footballers with a refugee background in Italy and Germany from two studies. The material was examined using qualitative content analysis and i…
Lampedusa, football and Covid-19
Lampedusa is a remote Italian island, known as a border zone and European point of entry for many asylum-seekers coming by boat from North Africa. This research seeks to understand the value of sport in Lampedusa for its local and migrant population, in the context of the global COVID-19 pandemic. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with experts from the local community. Results show that sport in Lampedusa is often synonymous …
