Abstract des Verlegers

The second edition of this textbook on sport and social theory deals with the growing complexities of athletic policies, infrastructures and organizations and the need for policymakers to address the impact of commercialization on domestic and international fronts. Editor Houlihan (sport policy, Loughborough U., UK) enlists the help of expert contributors to provide students and researchers with a complete survey of the politics, power, history and social policies of sport, covering such topics as gender inequity, the human rights of young athletes, sport and the media and incidents of sports-related violence. A concluding section compares sports and social policies in such regions as Australia, the Middle East and EU member countries. Verl.-Information
