This book examines the ways in which sport for development and
peace (SDP) offers an opportunity for entrepreneurship to take
place through and within sport, and how innovation in the context
of SDP contributes to social and economic value for
underrepresented and marginalised groups and individuals. Written
by a team of leading international SDP researchers, and featuring
the voices of active SDP practitioners, the book examines the ways
in which entrepreneurs seek to use sport and/or social innovation
in and through sport to achieve their goals of social and economic
development. It explores the strategies that SDP organizations and
practitioners are utilizing in the current neoliberal moment to not
only survive during economic hardship - particularly during the
COVID 19 crisis - but also to thrive, drawing on important concepts
such as innovation, risk taking, proactiveness and opportunity
seeking. It also considers how nongovernmental organizations,
companies, governments, and communities are working to tackle
development issues in SDP using non-traditional forms of
organization and management, such as social enterprise models.
Combining cutting-edge research with reflections on best practice
in the field, this book is important reading for any advanced
student, researcher or practitioner with an interest in the
sociology of sport, sport for development, sport management,
development studies, social enterprise or innovation.
