Abstract

Organiziranjem sportskih natjecanja države poboljšavaju međunarodne odnose i svoj ugled. Fokus ovog rada je na sportswashing-u, pojmu koji označava korištenje sporta kao sredstva za prikrivanje političkih i društvenih problema te promicanje bolje slike države domaćina nekog natjecanja. Anketnim istraživanjem ispituje se percepcija ispitanika o utjecaju Svjetskih prvenstava 2018. i 2022. godine na ugled domaćina. Rezultati pokazuju visok stupanj svijesti ispitanika o povezanosti natjecanja i politike te potvrđuju da su domaćini koristili prvenstva za jačanje geopolitičkog utjecaja i ekonomskih koristi. Rad doprinosi razumijevanju fenomena sportswashing-a u suvremenoj geopolitici.

Abstract (english)

By organizing sports competitions, countries improve international relations and their reputation. The focus of this paper is on sportswashing, a term that denotes the use of sports as a means to cover up political and social problems and promote a better image of the host country of a competition. The survey examines the respondents' perception of the impact of the 2018 and 2022 World Cups on the host's reputation. The results show a high level of respondents' awareness of the connection between the competition and politics and confirm that the hosts used the championships to strengthen geopolitical influence and economic benefits. The paper contributes to the understanding of the phenomenon of sportswashing in contemporary geopolitics.
