This book explores the relationship between diplomatic discourse
and the Olympic Movement, charting its continuity and change from
an historical perspective. Using the recent body of literature on
diplomacy it explores the evolution of diplomatic discourse around
a number of themes, in particular the increasing range of
stakeholders engaged in the Olympic bid, disability advocacy and
the mainstreaming of the Paralympic Games and the evolution of the
Olympic boycott. The work addresses the increasing engagement of a
number of non-state actors, in particular the IOC and the IPC, as
indicative of the diffusion of contemporary diplomacy. At the same
time it identifies the state as continuing in the role of primary
actor, setting the terms of reference for diplomatic activity
beyond the pursuit of its own policy interests. Its historical
investigation, based around a UK case study, provides insights into
the characteristics of diplomatic discourse relating to the Games,
and creates the basis for mapping the future trajectory of
diplomacy as it relates to the Olympic Movement.
