Football constitutes a vivid public ritual in contemporary European
culture through which emergent social solidarities and new economic
networks have come into being. This fascinating and unique volume
traces the transformation of European football from the 1950s to
the present, focusing in particular on the dramatic changes that
have occurred in the last decade and linking them to the wider
process of European integration. The examination of football
illuminates how the growing dominance of the free market has
changed European society from an international order in which the
nation-state was dominant to a more complex transnational regime in
which cities and regions are becoming more prominent than in the
past. The study is supported by detailed ethnographic accounts
emerging from the author's fieldwork at Manchester United and
interview data with some of the most important figures in European
football at clubs including Juventus, Milan, Bayern Munich, Schalke
and Barcelona. It also includes a highly topical examination of
racism in European football.
