Twenty years of professionalism has seen rugby union undergo
dramatic transformations, from changes to everyday training
cultures to the growth of the Rugby World Cup into one of the
largest global sporting events. The Rugby World in the Professional
Era is the first book to examine the effect that professionalism
has had across a number of different aspects of the game and the
wider socio-cultural significance of these changes through case
studies from across the globe. Drawing on contributions from
scholars from across the rugby-playing world, the book explores the
role of rugby's professionalisation through a number of
social-scientific lenses, including: labour migration race and
indigenous populations the globalisation of the game mega-event
management male sexualities media representations of rugby - from
broadcasting matches to rugby in museums and on stage and screen
Offering insights into under-researched areas of the sport, such as
the growth of Rugby Sevens into an Olympic sport, and providing the
most up-to-date recent history of the sport available, The Rugby
World in the Professional Era is essential reading for anyone with
an academic interest in rugby, and any student or scholar with
interests in sports history, sports sociology, sport management or
the economics of professional sport.
