FIFA, GLOBAL GOVERNANCE AND COSMOPOLITANISM

Muhammad Nizar Hidayat

Abstract


Cosmopolitanism as a subject of study has been increasingly integrated in International Relations. It concerns with the notion of  ‘oneness’ of human kind as citizens of the world. The modern society who lives in globalization era will now be able to reflect on each other and see the similarities they shared together. One of the similarities of modern society is their addiction to sports, in this case, its football. Football binds people from each different cultures, geographical spheres, nationalities, religions, and other primordial binding that was less able to integrate people into a sense of ‘oneness’. FIFA in the other hand emerge as the conscequences of this shared idea of football. The governing body has evolved into the supreme entity which has around 209 members, more than UN which ‘only’ has 198 in its list. This paper aims to elaborate FIFA as football’s global governance, it’s evolution, and it’s role in spreading cosmopolitan values in more cultural ways, and less politics.
