Sport and Secessionism examines how sporting cultures reflect,
inform and sometimes frustrate secessionist movements around the
world. Investigating a wide range of cases, the book explores key
themes including nationalism, nation building, state-region
antagonisms, independence movements, identity and ethnic politics,
sovereignty and autonomy processes, all through the lens of sport.
Sports are uniquely positioned to shed light on secessionist
politics due to their pervasiveness in society, and their ability
to absorb, reflect and produce political projections. The book
presents analyses of a wide range of geographical, cultural and
political contexts in which sports are deployed to pursue regional
independence, or greater sovereignty and autonomy, and explores the
dual processes of sub-national identity construction and state
sovereignty deconstruction. The book includes fourteen cases from
such diverse parts of the world as Ireland, Taiwan, Turkey,
Catalonia, Biafra, Canada and the UK, among others. Offering a
unique perspective on an important geopolitical issue, this book is
fascinating reading for anybody with an interest in sport and
politics, the sociology of sport, political science, political
geography, nationalism studies or international history.
