Políticas deportivas en el mundo actual

The purpose of this article was to describe sports policies in today›s world in order to review the role that the State plays in the promotion of sports at the international level, in order to establish the best mechanisms for the promotion of sports. This study was based on a methodology of hermeneutic analysis of texts, reports and specialized research on the subject in order to comply with the set objective. After the bibliographic review, we proceeded to contrast the various sources consulted to make an integral exposition of the current state of sports policies from a global approach, to then explain the roles and functions exercised by the State with respect to the planning and design of its sports policy. Everything allows us to conclude that such policies vary in aspects such as the conception that the directive apparatus has of sports activities as a collective activity that involves the interests of the country or, from an individualistic approach, where sponsorship and private investment are stimulated to promote sports talent in general.
