Abstract
Because of the global civil society and the flourishing of NGOs, the international organisations, the international NGOs within global civil society, and even transnational civil society movements and sovereign states is the way to maintain international order and promote systemic peace. The International Olympic Committee, a non-governmental, non-profit ^international organisation^, has succeeded in creating an international platform for the development of sport as a transnational civil society movement. The Olympic Movement is reflected in international relations in political, economic and cultural terms, and in the diversity of international exchanges and cooperation. In the more than 100 years that the modern Olympic movement has experienced, its most significant crisis has been the interference of chronic politics. But because Olympic cooperation is a major international sporting event, international conflicts and contradictions often have a more direct impact on it. In contrast, the increased ^supranational^ element and authority of international organisations has led to a situation in which the positive factors of economic development and cultural exchange that countries seek to bring about by participating in or hosting the Olympic Games have been able to maintain a certain balance or restraint, at least under the authority of the IOC, despite the constant international strife and the operation of terrorist organisations, At the same time, it fulfils the aims of the Olympic Movement and, through sport, promotes the physical and mental health of young people and world peace.
The modern Olympic Movement is an international social movement that plays a huge role in modern international relations. It is an important force in the maintenance of world peace and mutual understanding between peoples- it promotes international cooperation between nations- and it calls for just and reasonable norms of international relations. But it also has some problems and needs to be improved
