“…Whilst this conceptualisation of sportspeople as ‘proxy warriors’ clearly resonates with the ideological clash between ‘East’ and ‘West’ in sporting ‘mega-events’ such as the Olympic Games in the Cold War era (Grix, 2013; Peppard and Riordan, 1993; Roche, 2002), it has also possessed explanatory value for analysing the nature of the interconnection between sport, politics and the ‘nation’ in various post-Cold War geographic contexts (Bowes and Bairner, 2018; Cashmore, 2005; Jedlicka, 2018; Merkel, 2009). The ability of sport to evoke nationalist sentiments and support amongst a nation’s population has, therefore, unsurprisingly not gone unnoticed by political leaders, autocratic or democratic alike.…”

Given the contemporary growth of 'populist' political parties and movements in a number of highly developed democratic states in Europe and North America, there has been a resurgence in academic interest around the various causes for the groundswell of support for political populism. Given this broader political context, this paper explores the interconnection between sport and populist politics in Hungary, with a particular emphasis on the appropriation of sport by 'right-wing' populist political actors. In particular, this paper will examine the politics-sport interconnection by discussing how the Prime Minister of Hungary, Victor Orbán, uses football, and sport more broadly, and the ways in which the Hungarian government have attempted to reinvent a strong nation and national identity through sport and related political populism. These attempts have been influenced by the interaction between forces of Westernisation and the country's continuing post-communist transition, with the view to (re)inventing the Hungarian nation.

“…To achieve athlete achievement in sports as desired by KONI, a professional governance system is needed in the KONI organization. Good governance can be achieved largely through wise decision making and adherence to moral standards [12]. Sports achievements can be achieved with good governance, effective in carrying out activities is a demand for every organization to achieve goals.…”

Governance is one thing that cannot be ignored in the performance training system for achieving maximum results from a performance. Therefore, every committee that is in the field of achievement sports management, for example, KONI, must carry out their duties properly. The purpose of this study was to determine the evaluation of sports governance in improving sports performance in Pidie District. This research uses descriptive qualitative research methods. The subject in this study was KONI, Pidie Regency. Subjects took using snowball sampling. Data collection techniques used is observation, interview, and documentation. This type of research uses the CIPP evaluation model with a qualitative research design model with the stages of the CIPP evaluation model are context evaluation, input evaluation, process evaluation, product evaluation. Based on the results of research that has been carried out that sports governance in improving sports achievement has not been relevant to the needs of athletes, which in the provision of facilities and infrastructure have not met the needs of athletes in KONI, Pidie Regency. In the sport management of KONI, Pidie Regency should have a good and competent manager in managing the improvement of sports achievement, this is evidenced by the educational background and achievements of the sports branches that are managed. Seeing this condition is a very open opportunity for Pidie District. So KONI Pidie Regency may score achievements expected to contribute to national-level achievements.

“…Despite the fact that the old adage about sport and politics not mixing is repeatedly mentioned in these discussions, and that international sporting federations still lay claim to their neutrality principles, there are good grounds to think that their support for human rights will have to be transformed into more active protection of them (Caudwell and McGee, 2018). On several occasions, ‘sport-washing’ has taken place (Chadwick, 2018; Horne, 2018; Jedlicka, 2018; Næss, 2017; Warner, 2014): that is, when an authoritarian state utilises a sporting event as a symbol of progress in order to gain international acclaim while hiding the negative consequences of it.…”

Sociology and the ethnography of human rights at mega-sport events

Sociology and human rights are sometimes perceived as Western liberal constructs. To do sociological studies of human rights in locations where both discipline and topic are contested, therefore, necessitates a sophisticated treatment of the relation between them if trustworthy results are to be generated. In order to do so, this article speculates on the potential of disciplinary development by assessing the conditions for doing sociological ethnography of mega-sport events. More specifically, it explores the ramifications of the International Olympic Committee’s Host City Contract from 2024 onwards. This contract requires the event bidder to actively engage in the protection of human rights. But how can we explore ethnographically the execution of this requirement? Rather than resuming ideas on a ‘syncretised’ sociology as a response to the burdens of methodological nationalism and Eurocentrism, this article uses the IOC contract as an example and lessons from the Fédération de Internationale de Football Association’s (FIFA) work on human rights to argue that there is an unexplored potential in improving sociological ethnographic research by adapting it to the specifics of a topic.
