Sport is commonly used by charities and philanthropic organisations
as a way of acquiring donors and fundraisers. In this
ground-breaking study, Kyle Bunds examines the nexus of sport,
politics and the charity industry through an investigation of water
development agencies that raise funds in the developed world to
build water systems in the developing world. Using innovative
auto-ethnographic research methods, this book examines the links
between water charities, charity running events and water
development projects in the UK, USA, Canada and Africa. By
exploring the political economy of philanthropy from a critical
perspective, it suggests new ways in which to support and improve
the relationships between sport, wider society and the environment.
Posing important questions about the potential environmental impact
of sport on an international level, this study presents a
compelling vision of the future of water charities across the
globe. Sport, Politics and the Charity Industry: Running for Water
is fascinating reading for all those interested in sport and
politics, sports geography, sport and the environment, sports
development, or sport and the charity industry.
