O microcosmo desportivo internacional regulado sob os preceitos da governança global: sistema de resolução de disputas e estudo de leading cases

Abstract

This dissertation aims at analyzing, from the commandments of the so-called Global Governance, the Sports Microcosm, which constitutes a real transnational sports legal order, self-regulated by the sports organizations, especially under the lex sportiva. Thus, we present the structural organization and main characteristics of the Sports Movement, composed by the Olympic Movement, the Federative Movement and the Anti-Doping Movement, giving emphasis to the International Olympic Committee and to FIFA. The essential part of the dissertation deals with the International System of Dispute Resolution for Sports, focusing on the Court of Arbitration for Sport and the possibility of appealing to the Federal Supreme Court of Switzerland. We conclude with the complementary analysis of leading cases, specifically concerning issues approached on real cases of substancial repercussion and importance, not willing to exhaust the subject-matter
