dc.description.abstractThis thesis investigates and seeks to understand and explain what role FIFA (Federation Internationale de Football Association), football’s world governing body, plays as an international organisation within the world of football. The central research question that this thesis seeks to answer is “Do FIFA’s actions towards African football associations stimulate development of football in those nations?” Other research questions that this thesis would seek to answer include: What role does FIFA play as an international organisation? What do states gain out of hosting sporting mega-events such as the World Cup? Do these events aid in development? And finally, does FIFA suspend states from developing nations more often than those from developed nations despite similar offences being committed? [No abstract provided.
