Austerity is perhaps the major challenge of our times, given the
speed at which it arrived and the consequences of its impact upon
society. The global financial crash and economic downturn was the
catalyst for change and, against a backdrop of advice from experts
adverse to Keynesian economics, the ideology of austerity grew and
became the dominant thinking to steer economies out of recession.
This comprehensive volume draws upon both quantitative and
qualitative research methodologies to provide a varied and
contextually rich insight into sport, policy, and politics in an
era of austerity. The authors cover a wide range of issues in a
variety of organisational contexts and geographies, including
sports participation across different socio-demographic groups; the
impact of austerity on the provision of community sports;
disability sport; public management of sport facilities; the
performance of public sport facilities with respect to access,
finance, utilisation, and customer satisfaction; the potential
impact of austerity on sport for development; elite sport; and
social inclusion and poverty. This book makes a significant
contribution to the current academic debate, while raising
important considerations for policymakers and managers. It was
originally published as a special issue of The International
Journal of Sport Policy and Politics.
