Jonathan Grix 
Sport Politics [PDF ebook] 
An Introduction

Apoio

This innovative new text examines sport’s relationship with politics and argues that sport has always been political, even as far back as antiquity. However, in the last 30 years there has been an unprecedented politicization of sport through increasing government intervention. Jonathan Grix takes a comprehensive and engaging look at sport politics by examining state involvement in initiatives from sports mega-events through to grass-roots and community sport activities. Providing an accessible introduction to this growing area of study, the text examines a number of approaches to the topic – including theories from Political Science, Sociology and International Relations – and adopts a critical framework throughout. In doing so the text discusses the relationship between social capital and sport, how governments use sport for non-sporting objectives and the role of governance in sport policy. Real-world examples demonstrate just how entwined sport and politics are: from ardentsoccer fans effectively ‘locked-in’ by ever-increasing ticket prices, to taxpayer’s money funding ever more extravagant international sports mega-events, to the moral and political implications of doping.
