While globalisation has undoubtedly occurred in many social fields,
in sport the importance of 'the nation' has remained. This book
examines the continuing but contested relevance of national
identities in sport within the context of globalising forces.
Including case studies from around the world, it considers the
significance of sport in divided societies, former global empires
and aspirational nations within federal states. Each chapter looks
at sport not only as a reflection of national rivalries but also as
a changing cultural tradition that facilitates the reimagining of
borders, boundaries and identities. The book questions how these
national, state and global identifications are invoked through
sporting structures and practices, both in the past and the
present. Truly international in perspective, it features case
studies from across Europe, the UK, the USA and China and touches
on the topics of race, religion, terrorism, separatism, nationalism
and militarism. Sport and National Identities: Globalisation and
Conflict is fascinating reading for anyone with an interest in the
sociology of sport or the relationship between sport, politics,
geography and history.
