Sports Diplomacy Surrounding the IOC’s Response to the Russian Invasion of Ukraine
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 posed a challenge to the International Olympic Committee (IOC), which maintains and upholds the norms and standards of the Olympic Movement, such as political neutrality. On this occasion observing the neutrality standard has conflicted with another important Olympic norm: to promote peace. The IOC’s stance regarding Russian and Belarusian participation in international sports competition evolved, alo…

International Sport and Diplomacy's Public Dimension
International sporting competition has played a rôle in diplomacy \nsince at least the ancient Olympiad. Competitors in international \nsporting events have always possessed the capacity to represent \ntheir governments and peoples—and, more latterly, sponsoring \nfirms—not only to foreign governments but also to foreign populations \nand the global public more broadly. The rapid increase in the \nnumber and variety of international sporting comp…
Mapping the relationship between international sport and diplomacy
To date, the relationship between diplomacy and international sport has been relatively under-theorized. This paper seeks to redress the deficiency by proposing an analytical taxonomy of the multiple convergences between international sport and diplomacy. The principal analytical distinction to be drawn is between (1) international sport consciously employed by governments as an instrument of diplomacy and (2) international-sport-as-diplomacy, th…
Do This One For Me, George
Since the G7/G8 was created at Rambouillet in 1975, it has evolved from being only a venue for diplomacy to becoming a diplomatic actor in its own right. Heads of government, foreign ministers, finance ministers, sherpas, and later other ministers who started meeting and communicating annually at G7 summits, began to generate shared meanings and form a collective identity, even if shifting, that was different and distinct from the identities of t…
World Economic Forum
Providing an introduction to the World Economic Forum (WEF), this book explores aspects of the WEF and highlights contemporary issues and debates in international studies. It shows how the WEF differs from other global institutions in several key respects
Making Room at the Negotiating Table
The study of diplomacy has traditionally focused on relationships and interactions between the governments of nation-states, empires, principalities, and similar politicies. This state-centric view has been challenged in recent times by scholars who have sought to take into account the proliferation of different types of actors in the international arena. This paper address diplomacy between governments and non-state economic entities, a broad ca…
The New Aerospace Diplomacy
Post-Cold War U.S.-Russian diplomacy reveals the increased importance of new diplomatic actors and processes, whilst underscoring the continued key role of state-state negotiation in reconstructing the bilateral relationship between the United States and post-Soviet Russia. The Clinton administration and Yeltsin government negotiated measures to promote political stability, democratization, and conversion to a neoliberal market economy in Russia,…
A Multifunctional Case Study for Teaching International Political Economy
The protests against the WTO in Seattle and against the World Economic Forum in Davos and New York present vivid images of conflicting interests in the global economy. Teachers of International Political Economy have an opportunity to use a series of recent or ongoing dynamic case studies to introduce students to theory, history, empirical investigation, and current issues. The evolution of the WEF is a strong example of a multifunctional case st…
The sovereignty discourse and the US debate on joining the world trade organization
Hegemony and trade liberalization policy
1. Theory and the application of hegemonic powerThe idea of hegemony, in the general sense in which it has been employed by scholars of international relations and historians since the 1970s, has been intended to deepen understanding of the behaviour of states possessing characteristics that qualify the states as hegemons and the effect of that behaviour upon the international system. But the lengthy debate over hegemony has failed to characteriz…
United States trade policies at loggerheads
In the 1980s the US government sought to encourage India to liberalize its trade regime in services and foreign investment. US officials sought to achieve their objective by naming India to the 1988 Trade Act's ‘Super 301’ list of target countries for mandatory market‐opening negotiations under threat of retaliation while at the same time also pursuing Indian trade liberalization multilaterally under the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GA…
Free trade, British hegemony and the international economic order in the nineteenth century
The theory (or rather the notion) that the international economy functioned more or less effectively for roughly a century down to 1914 because Great Britain provided the ‘public goods’ required for the smooth operation of the ‘liberal international order’ has become a textbook generalization. That notion emerged quite recently and can be traced to Kindleberger's attempt to explain the pronounced cyclical fluctuations experienced by the world eco…
