Cue the fanfare: in this new episode, School of International Service professor Robert Kelley joins Big World to talk about sports diplomacy and the soft power of the Olympic Games.

Kelley, an Olympics enthusiast, also discusses this year’s Opening Ceremonies in Paris (3:54) and explains how Olympic athletes serve as diplomats during the Games (6:18).
