This is the first book to offer a comprehensive overview of the
history, development and contemporary significance of sport in
Asia. It addresses a wide range of issues central to sport in the
context of Asian culture, politics, economy and society. The book
explores diverse topics, including the history of traditional Asian
sport; the rise of modern sport in Asia; the Olympic Movement in
Asia; mega sport events in Asia; sport governance and policy;
gender, class and ethnicity in Asian sport, and Asia's sporting
heroes and heroines. With contributions from 74 leading
international scholars, it offers a new perspective on
understanding Asian sport and society, telling the story of how
sport in this mega-region is coming together and reshaping the
world in the process. It also provides readers with a wide lens
through which to better contextualise the relationships between
Asia and the world within the global sport community. The Routledge
Handbook of Sport in Asia is a vital resource for students and
scholars studying the history, politics, sociology, culture and
policy of sport in Asia, as well as sport management, sport
history, sport sociology, and sport policy and politics. It is also
valuable reading for those working in international sport
organisations.
