Tesis ini dilatarbelakangi oleh pemisahan tugas dan wewenang antara KONI dan KOI dalam UU SKN 2005. Adanya perbedaan pendapat, perdebatan, persaingan, bahkan pertentangan dan perebutan dalam pendistribusian dan pengalokasian sumber-sumber yang langka dan terbatas dalam UU SKN 2005 menimbulkan konflik antara KONI dan KOI. Unit analisa dari penelitian ini adalah manifestasi konflik yang terjadi antara KONI dan KOI yang terdiri dari beberapa bentuk tindakan (behaviour) konkret, yakni penetapan chief de mission(CDM) atau Ketua Kontingen, upaya KONI merevisi AD-ART, KOI mengukuhkan PB-Wushu, masalah logo olympics five rings, dan judicial review UU SKN 2005. Metode penelitian yang digunakan ialah metode penelitian kualitatif. Data diperoleh melalui studi literatur dan wawancara. Teori yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu teori konflik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terjadinya konflik KONI-KOI dalam pengelolaan keolahragaan nasional disebabkan oleh pertama, lahirnya UU SKN 2005. Dampak dari UU ini memisahkan KONI dan KOI. Kedua, kewenangan KONI yang berkurang. Misalnya KONI tidak lagi berwenang untuk mengirim atlet ke ajang internasional. Dan terakhir, keterbatasan akses terhadap sumber daya, khususnya keuangan.
