This book examines the political significance of sport and its
importance for nation-state building and political and economic
transition across thirteen post-Soviet and post-socialist
countries, primarily located in Eastern Europe. Adopting a critical
case-study approach, building on historical and comparative
frameworks, the book uses sport as a symbolic lens through which to
examine the transition of Eastern European countries to the Western
capitalist system. Covering a wide geographical area, from Poland
to the Caucuses and Turkmenistan, it explores key themes such as
nationalism, governance, power relations, political ideology,
separatism, commercialisation and economic development, and the
symbolic value of mega-events. Sport, Statehood and Transition in
Europe is fascinating reading for anybody with an interest in sport
policy, the politics of sport or political science.
