For small nations like Grenada, New Zealand and Norway, medal
counts relative to population are increasingly touted as the most
meaningful comparisons with sporting superpowers China, the United
States and Germany. In acknowledging that 60% of the world's states
have populations of less than 10 million and 48% of these have less
than 5 million inhabitants, this book explores how the 'minnows'
can build or sustain their sport programmes. Despite the immense
variation among and between small states, this book suggests that
scale 'matters'. The contributors, from Antigua and Barbuda,
Finland, Lebanon, Norway, New Zealand, and Sweden demonstrate the
challenges and opportunities of governing sport in their respective
countries. These works highlight the distinctive policy 'ecologies'
of sport in small states, marked by the unique responses to global
pressures, the domestic realities of having limited resources, and
by the close-knit networks of accountability. This volume will help
scholars and policy makers to better understand the significance of
having fewer 'degrees of separation' and the implications this has
for sport. This book was published as a special issue of the
International Journal of Sport Policy and Politics.
