Pause @ Real Scientists DE@realscientists.de · 2mo ago

Guten Morgen – weiter geht's! Gerade mit Blick auf die Kritik rund um die ⚽🏆 in Katar und die WM 2034 in Saudi Arabien stellt sich die Frage: Warum geben internationale Sportverbände Autokratien überhaupt die Möglichkeit, prestigeträchtige Sportgroßveranstaltungen auszurichten?

Pause @ Real Scientists DE@realscientists.de · 2mo ago

Beim Thema Sportwashing stellt sich aber noch eine entscheidende Frage: Warum vergeben internationale Verbände wie die FIFA oder das IOC ihre Turniere überhaupt an Autokratien? 🤔 Dazu zeige ich euch als Nächstes (morgen) eine brandneue Studie zum Innenleben der FIFA – hier erstmals öffentlich 🤩

Thrilled to see Making a Career in Dictatorship featured in The New York Times @nytimes.com My favorite line: “[The book] reads like what you might get if you crossed Hannah Arendt’s ideas about the ‘banality of evil’ with a business school guide on how to get the most out of low performers.”
