Although the game is known by many names around the world -
football, futbol, Fussball, voetbal - soccer is a universal
language. Throughout the past century, governments have used soccer
to further their diplomatic aims through a range of actions
including boycotts, carefully orchestrated displays at matches, and
more. In turn, soccer organizations have leveraged their power over
membership and tournament decisions to play a role in international
relations. In Soccer Diplomacy, an international group of experts
analyzes the relationship between soccer and diplomacy. Together,
they investigate topics such as the use of soccer as a tool of
nation-state - based diplomacy, soccer as a non-state actor, and
the relationship between soccer and diplomatic actors in
subnational, national, and transnational contexts. They also
examine the sport as a conduit for representation, communication,
and negotiation. Drawing on a wealth of historical examples, the
contributors demonstrate that governments must frequently address
soccer as part of their diplomatic affairs. They argue that this
single sport - more than the Olympics, other regional multisport
competitions, or even any other sport - reveals much about
international relations, how states attempt to influence foreign
views, and regional power dynamics.
