Sport has changed. Traditions and territorial distinctions are
dissolving as a result of new global, political, economic and
cultural conditions. The team of authors examine these changes,
investigating the power relations that govern the new global sport
and assessing the consequences for the future of sport. The book is
founded on a series of case studies, linked by a common
process-sociological approach, and is divided into four sections -
each dealing with an important aspect of sport and globalization: *
the local-global nexus - how global sports processes are played out
at the level of local communities * lived experiences - the reality
of global sport for players and supporters * identity politics -
the impact of global sport on national consciousness * sporting
futures - the emergent political, economic and cultural forces that
are shaping global sport, and their implications for its
development. The text introduces new approaches to the study of
sport and globalization, updating and extending Maguire's previous
work, and is therefore an essential resource for all those working
in this fast-changing area.
