This is the first book to offer a comprehensive overview of the
history, and development of sport from the ancient to the
contemporary era in China. It addresses the gap between the vibrant
academic scholarship within China and the limited understanding of
Chinese sport outside of the country. It opens different
perspectives on Chinese sport and addresses a wide range of issues
central to the development of sport in the context of Chinese
culture, politics, economy and society. It explores a diverse set
of topics including the history of Chinese traditional sport, the
rise of modern sport and the Olympic movement, sport and
nationhood, sport and politics and international relations, sport
and physical education, sport and economy and commerce, sport and
social stratification and diversity, and sport leisure and tourism.
It offers critical insights into the multifaceted world of Chinese
past and present-a contribution to our collective knowledge and
understanding of Chinese sport and society-useful reading for
students, researchers and professionals with an interest in the
field of China and Chinese sport. This Handbook has been
contributed to by a team consisting of 88 leading Chinese and Asian
experts and scholars with varied backgrounds of studying and
working in European, North American, and Australian universities,
as well as Western scholars with expertise of China and its sports
system and practice. It is composed of ten parts classified by
different subjects. It provides a wide lens through which to better
contextualise the relationships between China and the world within
the global sport community. The Routledge Handbook of Sport in
China is a vital resource for students and scholars studying the
history, politics, sociology, culture and policy of sport in China,
as well as sport management, sport history, sport sociology, and
sport policy and politics. It is also valuable reading for those
who are working in international sport policy making and sport
organisations.
