Australians have invested an enormous amount of emotional and
physical capital in their sporting systems and structures. While
Australian sport has many times been dissected from a historical
and cultural perspective, there is little detailed analysis of
sport's relationship with government. The book focuses on sport
policy, and examines the ways in which government has affected the
development of Australian sport since 1919. The text identifies the
political, economic and cultural context in which policies were
set, and examines critical policy shifts. The book also provides a
strong theoretical foundation by first discussing the underlying
principles of policy formulation, and second, the rationale for
government intervention in national sport. It includes a number of
sport policy case studies, with particular attention to the
following topics: - Elite and Community sport development - Trends
in participation and sport fan preferences - Problems in attracting
young people to sport participation - Improving the management
systems of sporting bodies - Government policy on sport
broadcasting - Tools for evaluating sport policy Providing a unique
blend of theory, history and practice, this text provides an
essential foundation for sport policy analysis and will be read by
students of sport studies and sport management as well as
professionals with an interest in sport development.
