Internationalism in the Olympic Movement

The idea of "e;Internationalism"e; has manifested itself not only in the intercultural dialogue within the Olympic Movement, but also at the Olympic Games as the sportive, cultural, and media peak of the four-year-circle. The authors analyze and discuss Internationalism from different professional perspectives, against different cultural backgrounds, as well as in relation to diverse reference groups to widen the understanding of Internationalism as a social interaction in the Olympic Movement. They also aim at establishing the intersections and equal normative principles of "e;Internationalism"e; within the different cultural and institutional fields. These common grounds may be useful for the practical implementation and realization of "e;Internationalism"e; through Olympic sports and at Olympic Youth Camps.
