Relações Internacionais, Diplomacia esportiva, Geoestrutura internacional, Índice de Poder Mundial, Jogos OlímpicosResumo
Esta pesquisa trata do desempenho esportivo dos países a partir das Relações Internacionais. Considerando que na maioria dos estudos sobre esporte são minimizados ou ignorados os imperativos sistêmicos e o poder como um elemento integral que orienta a ação estatal, o objetivo deste artigo é estudar a relação entre a geoestrutura de poder internacional e o quadro de medalhas olímpico. Para isso, metodologicamente, é realizada uma análise correlacional entre o Índice de Poder Mundial (IPM) e o quadro de medalhas dos Jogos Olímpicos de Verão e de Inverno, desde a edição de Atlanta 1996 até Pequim 2022. Os resultados mostram que há uma alta correlação positiva nas diferentes Olimpíadas avaliadas, sustentando, desde as Relações Internacionais, que a geoestrutura internacional delimita e determina o desenho da diplomacia esportiva estatal no que diz respeito ao desempenho esportivo: priorização do esporte na agenda governamental, o planejamento de medalhas e os recursos destinados ao esporte de elite.
