Moral claims in international sports events

该项目旨在了解国际体育的道德主张如何产生、加强和传播全球秩序的规范性观点。世纪以来，奥林匹克运动会和其他重大国际体育赛事的倡导者一直声称，它们带来了道义上的好处--从促进和平到保护人权。该项目旨在分析体育的道德诉求如何塑造全球规范，并证明巨额财政和政治资本支出的合理性。通过理解为什么这些主张在世纪以来如此有影响力，该项目旨在了解围绕国际体育的道德期望的主要政治和经济后果。

This project aims to understand how moral claims about international sport generate, reinforce and propagate normative views of global order. For over a century, advocates of the Olympic Games and other major international sports events have claimed that they bring moral benefits– from promoting peace to protecting human rights. This project aims to analyse how sport’s moral claims shape global norms and justify enormous outlays of financial and political capital. By understanding why these claims have been so influential for over a century, the project aims to understand the major political and economic consequences of moral expectations around international sport.
