From the Rugby World Cup 2023 to the Paris Olympics 2024, sport is omnipresent. On July 11, we published the first volume of the groundbreaking report "The Future of Sport: Needs and Ideas of International Youth for Use by Policymakers", peer-reviewed by the UNESCO. The first part presents the results of a survey based on nearly 7.6 million tweets posted by over 670,000 young people aged 18 to 24. The second volume will focus on the adaptation of major public policies and will be published at the end of this year.
To coincide with the Women's FIFA World Cup (July 20th to August 20th 2023), Jean-Baptiste Guégan, author and specialist in the geopolitics of sport, published two articles on broadcast rights: “Broadcasting the 2023 Women’s World Cup: A Chance To Make a Difference” and “France will broadcat the 2023 Women's World Cup” (in French only).
Last March, Simon Chadwick published an article on the global governance of sport. In the article "Sport in Europe Faces Governance Challenges As the Growth of Multipolarism Confronts It", he analyzed the end of Europe's hegemonic position, challenged by North America and the geopolitical aspirations of the Global South.
