In the 19th century, Europe exported its politics, goods, ideas,
customs - and not least, its sports, to the rest of the world. This
imperialism began a process of cultural diffusion in which sport
became a cultural bond, moral metaphor and political symbol. It was
a two-way process, for as soon as the world beyond Europe became
known to the Europeans, sports from other parts of the world
entered Europe. The sports of Europe and the United States were
imitated and assimilated and became symbols of national and
cosmopolitan identity. This work examines the national and
international importance of sport and its role in shaping
post-millennium global culture.
