スポーツによる国際貢献の向こう側 : スポーツ援助の先に何が起こるのか？

Abstract

During the last two decades, there is international enthusiasm for the idea that sport can contribute to ‘social development’ strategies. It assumes that there is clearly potential for sport to be used as a new engine in advancing various dimensions of development, something grasped by a growing number of policy makers. In this social milieu, the sport for development and peace (SDP) movement has recently been institutionalized with a number of policy documents, thematic studies. This paper addresses the donor–recipient relationship in a sports development aid context, and considers the potential and limitations of the use of SDP as a ‘cost-effective’ solution to ameliorating social problems. In conclusion, this paper highlights that there is a need to test the claims empirically and to monitor and evaluate SDP programs in a more rigorous and evidence-based approaches.
