| dc.description.abstract | China is a country that has been using sport in order to reach political
goals for many years. Lately such political exploitation of sport is directed at
shaping the desirable international image of this country. This is done most of all
through hosting sports events, but also through sports victories. The last aspect
is the subject of this research. The aim of the article is therefore to investigate the
issue of utilization of performance in international sport in order to enhance international
image of a China. The research presented in the article is a case study
concerning sport as a tool of nation-branding. Its main objective is to analyse motivation
of China’s decision-makers to use sports performance in order to enhance
the country’s international perception, and to observe how this goals is executed.
The main hypothesis to be tested states that China perceives sports performance
as an important tool of enhancing its international image. | pl_PL |
