	Nationalism and sport - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nationalism and sport are often intertwined, as sports provide a venue for symbolic competition between nations; sports competition often reflects national conflict, and in fact has often been a tool of diplomacy.
		The involvement of political goals in sport is seen by some as contrary to the fundamental ethos of sport being carried on for its own sake, for the enjoyment of its participants, but this involvement has been true throughout the history of sport.
		The boycott by the United States and politically aligned nations of the 1980 Summer Olympics and the Soviet Union of the 1984 Summer Olympics were part of the Cold War conflict.

	Daily Peloton - Pro Cycling News
		This study is an exploratory analysis of the historical development of cycle sport in the Basque Country (defined as Euskadi in the Basque language) and primarily aims to reveal links between the sport and the Basque nationalist movement, from the 1890’s to the 1990’s.
		Nationalism in the Basque Country embodies all major elements of its definition, expression through traditional cultural means, historical claims, ethnic exclusivity, myth, religion, national boundary and crucially language.
		As the first study of cycle sport and nationalism, this study seeks to address this oversight and to prove that cycle sport is inextricably linked to the Basque nationalist cause.

		Hechter attributes nationalism in the "Celtic fringe" of Britain and Ireland to the reinforcing divisions of culture and the division of labour.
		Civic nationalism (or civil nationalism) is the form of nationalism in which the state derives political legitimacy from the active participation of its citizenry, from the degree to which it represents the "will of the people".
		While internationalism in the cosmopolitanist context by definition implies cooperation among nations, and therefore the existence of nations, proletarian internationalism is different, in that it calls for the international working class to follow its brethren in other countries irrespective of the activities or pressures of the national government of a particular sector of that class.

	Dialectics Of The Dias - Nationalism In Sport - Liam Dennis
		Increasingly apparent upon analysis of the linkage between sport, the media coverage thereof and nationalism is a clear indication that the debate has surprisingly little to do with sport and all to do with politics, ideology and symbolism.
		Rowe and Lawrence assert that this is because sport is "a particularly compelling ideological cement...it encourages the suspension of...antagonism in favour of a fabled national interest" (Rowe and Lawrence, 1986, p203).
		Worthy of note is a different form of nationalism - that regarding the assertion of power of formerly oppressed races through sporting triumph - and utilising the precipitating media attention for the aim of racial equality.

		The question of what Irish nationalism is, and what forces shape it, has stretched the minds of generations of Irish historians and political scientists.
		This means that sport has a greater resonance and meaning for the experience of the multitude of the Irish in stark contrast to the operation of Dublin-centred politics and literature.
