Abstract

JAMES A.R. NAFZIGER Disput e Resolution in the Arena of International Sport s Competition Most issues of international sports law are fundamentally pro­ cess-oriented. High-visibility threats to free and fair competition— for example, doping, commercialization, and political manipulation of athletic activity—challenge the legal imagination not so much be­ cause of disagreement over fundamental values or public policy but because of uncertaint y and controversy about th e appropriat e mecha­ nisms for making decisions and resolving disputes. The problem is tha t authority is shared by a n overlapping and confusing array of in­ ternational , national, governmental and nongovernmental institutions. Ongoing efforts to simplify and better coordinate the unwieldy structure for resolving disputes, in particular, and to improve the ac­ countability of th e pertinent institutions, will benefit athletes, sports organizations and the public alike. Comparative insights would be very useful in determining what mechanism or mechanisms might work best. Although both comparative sports law and comparative dispute resolution are still in thei r infancy, they are beginnin g to pro­ vide informative data and perspectives. It is important , however, to tak e account of these insights within a coherent framework of law and policy. This article
