- Who makes sport policy and why do we need it?
- What is the purpose of sport development programmes?
Sport Policy and Development answers these questions and more by
closely examining the complex relationships between modern sport,
sport policy and development and other aspects of the wider
society. These important issues are explored via detailed case
studies of key aspects of sport policy and sport development
activity, including:
- school sport and physical education
- social inclusion
- health
- elite sport
- sporting mega-events.
Each case study demonstrates the ways in which the sport policy
and development fields have changed, and are continually changing
in response to the increasing political, social and cultural
significance of sport. The book helps the reader to understand the
complexities of the sport policy-making process, the increasing
intervention of government in the sport policy and development
fields, and how the short-term, ever-changing and frequently
contradictory political priorities of government come to impact on
the practice of sport policy and development.
Accessible and engaging, this textbook is an invaluable
introduction to sport policy and sport development for students,
practitioners and policy-makers alike.
