Abstract

Not only the ancient Olympic truce practice but also the rules of modern football game demonstrate that sports can work as a supplementary means in international dispute settlement. Sports diplomacy is a tool which expresses political attitudes and can improve the national image. Sports diplomacy sets a foundation for further public opinion direction and also it can cultivate a good atmosphere between the countries to help resolve disputes. 'Ping-pong diplomacy' proved to be a useful tool in Sino-US reconciliation in the late 1960s, which also showed the unique charm of sports diplomacy. Based on the historical experience of the Sino-US 'ping-pong diplomacy', the aim of this study is to analyse the applicability of sports diplomacy in the current global environment, while offering mechanism for the relevant international disputes, global problems and practical legal issues.
