Cricket diplomacy, playing an important part in the
Pakistani-Indian peace process, is more relevant than ever twenty
years after Pakistani president Zia went cricket-watching to India
in 1987. Sport has been widely recognized in recent years for its
potential for peace in capacity of bringing people together,
bridging differences and promoting communication and understanding.
Still, very little academic literature exists on the relationship
between sport on the hand and the realm of politics and diplomacy
on the other. Traditional diplomatic approaches are no longer
sufficient as the use of sport clashes with what is considered the
normal diplomatic landscape. This book, therefore, attempts first
to bridge the gap between sport and politics and establish use of
sport in diplomacy. Second, it situates cricket diplomacy in the
sport diplomacy universe, and finally, it discusses whether and how
cricket diplomacy between India and Pakistan has been successful.
The analysis should help shed some light on this under-researched
field, and should be equally useful to professionals in politics
and diplomacy as anyone else interested in the fascinating
intertwining of sport and politics.
