The institutional relationship between sport and the military
appears to be intensifying. In the US for example, which faced
global criticism for its foreign policy during the "war on terror,"
militaristic images are commonplace at sporting events. The growing
global phenomenon of conflating sport with war calls for closer
analysis. This critical, interdisciplinary and international book
seeks to identify intersections of sport and militarism as a means
to interrogate, interrupt and intervene on behalf of democratic,
peaceful politics. Viewing sport as a crucial site in which
militarism is made visible and legitimate, the book explores the
connections between sport, the military and the state, and their
consequent impact on wider culture. Featuring case studies on
sports such as association football, baseball and athletics from
countries including the US, UK, Germany, Canada, South Africa,
Brazil and Japan, each chapter sheds new light on the shifting
significance of sport in our society. This book is fascinating
reading for all those interested in sport and politics, the
sociology of sport, communication studies, the ethics and
philosophy of sport, or military sociology.
