At the global level, sport is ruled by a set of organizations
including giants such as the IOC (Olympics), FIFA (soccer), and the
IAAF (athletics) as well as sporting minnows such as the World
Armsport Federation (armwrestling). Many of these bodies have been
surrounded by controversy during their histories, after having to
adjust to the realities of commercial sport.
This important book analyzes the evolution of modern sport,
examining the ways in which sporting organisations have adapted
over the years to accommodate changing environments. Themes covered
in this impressive volume include:
* sources of sports revenue
* organising global sporting events such as the Rugby World
Cup
* differences and similarities between global sporting
organisations
Forster and Pope have created an important book, which seriously
analyzes sports organizations from a political economy vantage
point for the first time. Of interest to students and academics
studying the economics of sport, the book is also written in a
style that makes it accessible for those with a general interest as
well as for global sporting bodies themselves.
