Sport, Policy and Politics - A Comparative Analysis (Hardcover, annotated edition)

In recent years, across a broad range of countries, sport has been transformed from an essentially private, politically marginal social activity to an important concern of government. This text is a comparative analysis of sport policy making, and the motives for investment by governments in five countries - Australia, Canada, Ireland, the United Kingdom and North America.;Some of the issues raised in this book include: the process of sport policy-making; the administrative framework for sport: the responsibilities of central or federal governments, state governments and local authorities; the division of responsibility between different levels of government; how policy making has addressed the topical problems of drug abuse in athletes, and the provision of sport and physical education in schools
