Soft Power Politics- Past and Present: Football and Baseball on the
Western Pacific Rim illustrates the momentous expanse and moment of
sport in the Asia Pacific region and through these essays dealing
with two of the most prodigious global team sports confronts
various cultural clashes that Samuel Huntington would ensure the
end of civilisation. They also demonstrate the power sport has to
change the world and to inspire and unite people globally. All who
sail under the flag of 'Sport', as ingenuous as it may seem to the
host of cynics that abounds, believe that dialogues that emerge
from arguments included in this text represent communication of the
highest order and have the potential to produce the cohesion that
can close some of those cracks that Huntington said would open up
along, what he called the fault lines between civilisations. This
book was published as a special issue of the International Journal
of the History of Sport.
