It is essential reading for sport management, sport development and sport sociology students around the globe and offers fascinating and invaluable insight to interested stakeholders from industry, community and government. This is a progressive text which is the first book to explore sport's increasingly important contribution to social capital. It is written by the top authors in this field and comprehensively edited into a unified volume. It analyses the importance of sport and its relationship to social capital within local, national and international communities.
