Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this study was to design a model for the role of sport in world peace.
Methodology: In this qualitative research method, the foundation data method has been used to answer the research questions. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews. The statistical population of the study consisted of all experts and specialists who were familiar with the subject of peace and sports. According to the data foundation method, sampling was done theoretically. Data analysis was performed using three stages of open, axial and selective coding using version 7 of Atlas-Ti software.
Results: After open coding, the categories of causal conditions included Politics, Internationalism, Education, and Economics. Underlying conditions included Organizational, Political, Socio-Cultural, and International conditions. Strategies of action included Political, Organizational, Educational, Managerial strategies and its Structural and Human Consequences were extracted. Then, in the axial and selective coding stage, the link between these categories was determined in the form of a paradigm model of the research and the final theory was formed.
Conclusion: Based on the results of research on the role of sport in world peace, it can be said that a challenging path is still ahead. It seems that by emphasizing the role of Politics, International Relations, Education and constructive cooperation between national and international sports authorities and world rulers, one can hope to improve the current situation and promote world peace through sport.
