Sport, Corruption and Human Rights: the Case of FIFA / Sport, Corruption and Human Rights: the Case of FIFA

Shropshire, Kylea January 2014 (has links)
This master thesis dissertation analyzes what kind of humanitarian issues can arise when international sporting events, such as the World Cup, are connected with powerful, global sporting organizations such as FIFA. It asks whether or not FIFA takes into consideration the positive and negative consequences that such an event might have on human rights? Or if FIFA chooses to ignore these rights in preference of organizational gain? For my investigation I decided to choose FIFA because it is one of the most important sports organizations in the world and wields a great deal of power thanks to its corporate partners and football's worldwide appeal. My hypothesis is simple: Decisions made by FIFA are heavily influenced by endemic corruption throughout the organization that does not prioritize citizen rights or human rights development more generally.

Political use and consequences of sport events / Political use and consequences of sport events

Rybka, Pauline Johanna January 2013 (has links)
In the theory part of this thesis will examine the connection between politics and sport, including the politicization of major sport events and the particular role of non-democratic states as host nations. In the empirical part, three case studies (Summer Olympics Beijing 2008, Winter Olympics Sochi 2014, and FIFA World Cup Qatar 2018) will be analyzed in the light of how they have influenced (or have the potential to influence) reforms, the adoption of democratic structures, and the human rights situation.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Adriano José Rossetto Júnior.pdf: 2513827 bytes, checksum: 9e37b823e91a74b7801528f5c48915de (MD5) Previous issue date: 2016-12-15 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / The mega sporting events are, in principle, described as a opportunity to stimulate and boost the sport in the country, a window of opportunity for sports development. In this way, includes-if the educational sport, ensuring the right of sports to all citizens as promulgates the National Constitution of 1988. The objective this thesis was to evaluate the legacy of 2014 FIFA World Cup for educational sport in São Paulo city, identifying, mapping, analyzing and classifying public policies, programs and sports projects developed by the Municipal Secretary of Sports and Leisure of São Paulo (MSSL). The research employed a qualitative approach case study, choosing the educational sport in São Paulo city as the focus. Initially, it undertook a literature review on the theories sociological of Norbert Elias and Pierre Bourdieu and its links with the sociology of sport, in Preuss's study of the legacy of mega sporting events and in Marx's theory about the relation of sport as a commodity. Later a documentary analysis was held, in search of primary sources, leaning up on the Guidelines and Budget Laws of the City and documents of MSSL to analyze the public sports policies, while observing the budgets, programs, projects and sports events realized by MSSL in São Paulo, during the administration of mayors Kassab (2009-2012) and Haddad (2013-2016). Also, there were qualitative interviews with nine employees and former employees of MSSL as a way of getting information that could demonstrate the sports policies of both administrations and the legacy into the organization of FIFA's World Cup - Brazil 2014 into city sports. It was found that during Haddad's management there was a reduction of investments in sport, of activities and also related to the numbers of calls in the projects and programs of the MSSL. As a result we see a shrinkage in the workforce and in the equipments, public sports structures worn and without magnification. Thus, as a positive legacy of the FIFA's World Cup to the sport in São Paulo city was only the new Arena, since the impact on educational sport was negative, with the decadence of School's Club Program. The huge winners of the legacy are the actors who holds more power in the Municipal sports field, ie, politicians, businessmen, show managers who defend the highperformance sports or commodity in fact, the accumulation and capital rise. The MSSL languishes, educational and leisure sport in the largest host cities of the country agonizes which demonstrate that the realization of mega sporting events does not require obligatorily and directly a legacy for sport / Os megaeventos esportivos são, em princípio, descritos como uma oportunidade para estimular e alavancar o esporte no país – uma janela de oportunidades para o desenvolvimento esportivo. Nesse sentido, inclui-se o esporte educacional, assegurando o direito da prática esportiva a todos os cidadãos, conforme promulga a Constituição Nacional de 1988. O objetivo desta tese é avaliar o legado da Copa do Mundo FIFA 2014 para o esporte educacional, na cidade de São Paulo, identificando, mapeando, analisando e classificando as políticas públicas, os programas e projetos esportivos desenvolvidos pela Secretaria Municipal de Esporte e Lazer do Município de São Paulo (SEME). A pesquisa empregou a abordagem qualitativa de estudo de caso, escolhendo o esporte educacional na cidade de São Paulo como objeto. Inicialmente, empreendeu-se revisão bibliográfica nas teorias sociológicas de Norbert Elias e de Pierre Bourdieu e seus nexos com a sociologia do esporte, nos estudos sobre legados dos megaeventos esportivos de Preuss e na teoria de Marx sobre a relação do esporte como mercadoria. Posteriormente, realizou-se análise documental, em busca de fontes primárias, debruçando-se sobre as Diretrizes e Leis Orçamentárias da Cidade e documentos da SEME para analisar os orçamentos, programas, projetos e eventos esportivos realizados pela SEME em São Paulo, das gestões dos prefeitos Kassab (2009-2012) e Haddad (2013-2016). Também, realizaram-se entrevistas qualitativas junto a nove funcionários e ex-funcionários da SEME na busca de informações que demonstram as políticas de esporte das duas gestões e o legado da realização da Copa do Mundo FIFA – Brasil 2014 no esporte da cidade. Constatou-se que, na gestão Haddad, ocorreu redução dos investimentos em esporte, diminuição das atividades e no número de atendimentos nos projetos e programas da SEME, encolhimento do quadro de funcionários e equipamentos e estrutura esportivas públicas desgastadas e sem ampliação. Dessa forma, o legado positivo da Copa FIFA para o esporte na cidade de São Paulo somente foi a construção da nova Arena, uma vez que o impacto no esporte educacional foi negativo, com a decadência do Programa Clube Escola. Os grandes vencedores do legado são os atores que detêm mais poder no Campo Esportivo do município, ou seja, os políticos, empresários, gestores do espetáculo, que defendem o esporte de alto rendimento ou mercadoria – na verdade, o acúmulo e ampliação de capital. A SEME definha, o esporte educacional e de lazer na maior cidade-sede do país agoniza, demonstrando que a realização de megaeventos esportivos não acarreta, obrigatoriamente e diretamente, legados para o esporte

Stock market reactions to hosting the FIFA World Cup

Ramdas, Bijendradas 10 June 2014 (has links)
M.Com. (Financial Management) / This study was an investigation into the impact of hosting the FIFA World Cup soccer tournament on the stock market of the host country. The investigation looked at whether stock markets react efficiently or show a positive reaction to the hosting of the FIFA World Cup. Hosting the FIFA World Cup was assessed at two event dates: the announcement date where the host country’s winning bid is announced and the when the tournament starts. An event study research methodology was used to investigate the impact of hosting the FIFA World Cup on the stock exchange of the host country, by examining the movement of CARs across the two event windows. It was found that stock markets react differently to the announcement of the tournament and event start dates. The results of this study show that the stock market does not always regard the hosting of the FIFA World Cup as positive news, therefore resulting in either a positive or negative stock market reaction. Markets do however appear to be efficient and incorporated all information in stock prices. The test statistics showed a number of statistically insignificant results; hence the presented results do not support the hypotheses that the FIFA World Cup has a significant impact on the host country stock market during the announcement and hosting stages.

No. of bitstreams: 1 carlos_quintella.pdf: 1149013 bytes, checksum: 11d4f73f4f3b9eb7d899193ae148d791 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2011 / Os mega-eventos internacionais diferem muito nos seus propósitos, que podem ser econômicos, políticos, de meio ambiente, culturais, turísticos, esportivos etc. Independente dos seus propósitos, a essência de todos, é sediá-los com sucesso, proporcionando segurança às pessoas que deles participam. Esses eventos representam uma grande oportunidade para a cidade e para o país que os hospeda, pois permitem divulgar ao mundo inteiro seu potencial cultural e turístico, mas, por outro lado, a responsabilidade é um grande desafio para as autoridades envolvidas na organização. Este trabalho aborda a questão da segurança pública no Estado do Rio de Janeiro, perante a realização dos próximos eventos internacionais, como o Mundial de Futebol de 2014 e as Olimpíadas de 2016. O objetivo principal que norteou esta investigação foi identificar os fatores necessários para a construção de uma agenda coletiva que oriente o trabalho matricial de segurança no planejamento destes eventos. Para esse efeito, realizamos uma ampla pesquisa bibliográfica, entrevistas e observação para coletar as informações. Concluímos que esses fatores são: a integração entre governos (Federal, Estaduais e Municipais); a integração das comunidades e de toda a sociedade civil; o planejamento de responsabilidades; conhecimento prévio de cenários anteriores; cooperação com instituições nacionais e internacionais; administração orçamentária e participação logística dos recursos. / The mega-international events differ greatly in their purposes, which may be economic, political, environmental, cultural, tourism, sports etc.. Whatever your goals, the essence of all is to host them successfully, providing security to people who participate. These events represent a great opportunity for the city and the country that hosts them, because they allow the promotion of worldwide cultural and tourist potential, but on the other hand, responsibility is a big challenge for the authorities involved in the organization. This paper addresses the issue of public safety in the State of Rio de Janeiro, before the realization of the coming international events including the 2014 World Cup and the Olympics in 2016. The main goal that guided this research was to identify the factors necessary to build a common agenda to guide the work matrix of security in planning these events. To this end, we conducted an extensive literature search, interviews and observation to collect information. We conclude that these factors are: the integration between governments (federal, state and local), the integration of all communities and civil society, the responsibilities of planning, prior knowledge of the preceding scenarios, cooperation with national and international institutions, budget management and participation of logistics resources.
