Abstract

This paper seeks to evaluate the complex, competing and ever-changing discourses between cultural difference, gender and sport in relation to global sports movements. The paper raises a number of questions about inclusion and exclusionand, although it attempts to provide some answers to these questions, it does not claim to have all the answers or even that the answers offered by a Western academic are necessarily the most appropriate answers for academics and practitioners working in Iran. The role of a social scientist, however, is to problematise as much as problem solve with the latter dependent upon establishing links between academics and practitioners. The paper is structured in five sections. The first section highlights the role of women in the Olympic movement from the ancient Olympic Games until the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta in the US. The second section evaluates the role of women in sport outside the Olympic movement and explores the ways in which the Western domination of global sports movements such as the Olympic Games has resulted in the alternative organising and organisation of womens sport. The third section evaluates the ethos of "Sport for All" and the influence of discourses of UK sport policy in informing wider global discourses of gender and sport. The fourth section examines the relationship between the UK Womens Sport Foundation and the development of other Womens Sports Associations around the world. The final section of the paper concludes with a focus on cultural difference, gender and the 2000 Sydney Olympics and asks if the Olympic ideal can bring the Middle East and the West together without unduly compromising cultural difference, gender relations or sports participation and performance.
