Summary/Abstract: The monograph presents the place and importance of sport in public diplomacy, which is related to the category of sports diplomacy. The subject of the study in particular included issues of using sport to improve international relations, showing its role in shaping the international image of states and discussing the diplomatic subjectivity of international sport management organizations on the basis of the International Olympic Committee. An important factor of the analysis was to consider the entities with which sports diplomacy could be associated. The research has yielded results which made it possible to isolate models of sports diplomacy focused on building closeness between countries, assign the use of different methods of image-related sports diplomacy to different types of countries and propose a model explaining the diplomatic subjectivity of sports organizations.
