What can the history of a nation's football reveal about that
nation's wider political and socio-cultural identity? How can the
study of local football culture help us to understand the powerful
international forces at play within the modern game? Based on
long-term and detailed ethnographic research, this book uses Malta
as a critical case study to explore the dynamics of contemporary
football. Situated on the fringes of the EU, and with an appalling
record in international competition, the Maltese are nevertheless
fanatical about the game. This book examines Maltese football in
the context of the island's unique politics, culture and national
identity, shedding light upon both Maltese society and on broader
processes, both local and global, within the international game.
The book explores a range of key issues in contemporary football,
such as: the dynamics of international player migration; football
corruption and ethics; the politics of sponsorship and TV deals;
and the global appeal of footballing brands such as Manchester
United, Juventus and Bayern Munich. This book is essential reading
for students and researchers working in Sports Studies, Sociology
of Sport, Football, Globalisation, Politics and Ethnic Studies.
