“…Whether this misconception can be explained by a mistaken reading of 19th-century social change in the writings of the classics (Tilly, 1990 [1984]), or an uncritical adaption to non-Western spheres (see Berkes, 1936; Dincsahin, 2015, for the case of Turkish sociology), the hybrid nature of human rights invites us to think differently about the role of the nation-state in social science. For sure, it is meaningless to exclude the nation-state from the analytical framework due to the ramifications of international law (Clapham, 2006; Delpla, 2014). At the same time, the network of processes and actors that produce, protect and violate human rights criss-cross nation-states both legally and culturally (Hafner-Burton and Tsutsui, 2005; Merry, 2011).…”

Sociology and human rights are sometimes perceived as Western liberal constructs. To do sociological studies of human rights in locations where both discipline and topic are contested, therefore, necessitates a sophisticated treatment of the relation between them if trustworthy results are to be generated. In order to do so, this article speculates on the potential of disciplinary development by assessing the conditions for doing sociological ethnography of mega-sport events. More specifically, it explores the ramifications of the International Olympic Committee’s Host City Contract from 2024 onwards. This contract requires the event bidder to actively engage in the protection of human rights. But how can we explore ethnographically the execution of this requirement? Rather than resuming ideas on a ‘syncretised’ sociology as a response to the burdens of methodological nationalism and Eurocentrism, this article uses the IOC contract as an example and lessons from the Fédération de Internationale de Football Association’s (FIFA) work on human rights to argue that there is an unexplored potential in improving sociological ethnographic research by adapting it to the specifics of a topic.

“…The transnational thus refers to relations and flows across national frontiers, while avoiding claims to the universal that accompany the term ‘global’ and the historical project of global sisterhood” (Grewal and Kaplan, 1994; Kaplan, Alarcon, and Moallem, 1999, cited by Conway, 2008: 208, 210). Similarly, Isabelle Delpha (2014: 87) also defends the perspective of the co-constitution of the local, national, and international scales through the idea of the “immanence of the international in the national.”…”

Contrarily to “nation-based” or “classic” internationalism, internationalism as political praxis today shows a dynamic relationship between different scales of action that influence each other, notably according to structural changes in the social, cultural, and political-economic system. Furthermore, it differs from classic internationalism in focusing on different political struggles and debates, mobilizing more horizontal methods of organization, acknowledging a diversity of tactics, embracing a larger set of political principles and struggles (going beyond class to address the environment, race, and gender), and being more concerned with empowerment than with taking power. What is more, although contemporary internationalism is still guided by “socialism,” the term is loosely defined, allowing for ideological plurality based on political experimentation. Ao contrário do internacionalismo baseado na nação ou “clássico”, o internacionalismo como práxis política hoje mostra uma relação dinâmica entre diferentes escalas de ação que se influenciam mutuamente, notadamente de acordo com as mudanças estruturais no sistema social, cultural e político-econômico. Além disso, concentra-se em diferentes lutas e debates políticos do internacionalismo clássico, mobiliza métodos mais horizontais de organização, reconhece a diversidade de táticas, abraça um conjunto maior de princípios e lutas políticas (indo além da classe para abordar o meio ambiente, raça e gênero), e está mais preocupado com o empoderamento do que com a tomada de poder. Além disso, embora o internacionalismo contemporâneo ainda seja guiado pelo “socialismo”, o termo é vagamente definido, permitindo a pluralidade ideológica baseada na experimentação política.
