As part of a national development benchmark, sports can play an important role as a means of unifying a nation. The sports achievements of a nation can foster a nation's spirit of nationalism. Values in sports, such as discipline, sportsmanship, unyielding nature, cooperative spirit, mutual respect, courage to make decisions, loyalty, pride, and honor, also help a nation’s spirit of unity. The world’s great nations are nations with great sporting achievements. In addition, sports can be used as a means of promoting world peace by building a sense of shared identity, including creating friendships among groups that would otherwise have a tendency to threaten each other with mistrust, hostility, and violence. This paper will focus on answering two issues, namely how sports are used as a means of unifying a nation and how sports can play a role in world peace efforts.
BAHASA INDONESIA ABSTRAK: Sebagai bagian dari tolak ukur pembangunan nasional, olahraga dapat berperan penting sebagai sarana pemersatu bangsa. Prestasi olahraga suatu bangsa dapat memupuk semangat nasionalisme bangsa tersebut. Nilai-nilai dalam olahraga, seperti kedisiplinan, sportifitas, sifat pantang menyerah, semangat bekerjasama, saling menghargai, berani mengambil keputusan, kesetiaan, kebanggaan, dan kehormatan, serta membantu semangat persatuan dan kesatuan sebuah bangsa. Bangsa-bangsa besar di dunia ini adalah bangsa yang memiliki prestasi olahraga yang besar pula. Selain itu, olahraga dapat digunakan sebagai sarana promosi perdamaian dunia, dengan membangun rasa identitas bersama, termasuk menciptakan persahabatan diantara kelompok-kelompok, yang jika tidak akan memiliki kecenderungan untuk mengancam satu sama lain dengan ketidakpercayaan, permusuhan, sampai kekerasan. Tulisan ini akan fokus untuk menjawab dua masalah, yaitu bagaimana olahraga digunakan sebagai sarana pemersatu bangsa dan bagaimana olahraga dapat berperan dalam upaya-upaya perdamaian dunia.
