Abstract

La recherche vise la compréhension des relations de pouvoir entre les institutions sportives internationales et les organisations sportives. L'étude qualitative des relations de pouvoir sur les événementiels sportifs internationaux permet de confronter l'exercice du pouvoir par l'entité dominante aux théories triangulaires (Machiavel, 1513 ; Baechler, 1978 ; Galbraith, 2007). Trois événementiels permettront de tester le modèle de pouvoir créé à partir des écrits de la science politique et de la sociologie : La Coupe du Monde de Rugby 2007, les America's Cup 2007 et 2009 et les Jeux Olympiques d'hiver 2018. Le terrain du sport a été privilégié car les positions de chaque entité sont clairement définies par la structure de ce secteur, où l'institution internationale détentrice de l'événement domine la relation avec les organisations candidates et organisatrices. L'objectif d'un tel modèle de pouvoir est de fournir aux organisations présentes sur les événementiels sportifs internationaux des outils de compréhension du type de pouvoir exercé par l'entité dominante. Cette compréhension permettra aux organisations de devenir une force de proposition dans les relations, voire une force de contestation amenant à un renversement du pouvoir sur les événementiels. La volonté d'appréhender le pouvoir est nécessaire pour ces organisations compte tenu des nouveaux enjeux et du développement croissant de ce secteur d'activité. ENG The research's aim is the understanding of the relations of power between the international sports institutions and sports organizations. A qualitative study of the relations of power on the international sports events allows to confront the exercise of power by the dominant entity with triangular theories (Machiavelli, 1513 ; Baechler, 1978; Galbraith, 2007). Three special events managements enable to test the model of power created from the papers of the political science and the sociology: 2007 Rugby World Cup, America Cup in 2007 and 2009 and 2018 Winter Olympics Games. The theme of sport was privileged because the positions of each entity are clearly defined by the structure of this sector, where the international institution, holder of the event, dominates the relation with the candidate and organizing organizations. The objective of such a model of power is to supply to the present organizations on the international sports events the understanding tools the type of power exercised by the dominant entity. This understanding will allow the organizations to become a strength of proposition in the relations, even a strength of contesting bringing to a reversal of the power on events. The will to dread the power is necessary for these organizations considering the new stakes and the increasing development of this sector.
