The role of sport in development initiatives has grown dramatically
over the last five years, now finding a place in the UN's
millennium development goals. In Sport and Development for Peace,
Simon Darnell outlines the most recent sociological research on the
role of sport in development initiatives. The book analyses the
relationship between sport and international development and looks
at what this reveals about socio-political economy. It addresses a
gap in the literature by focusing on issues of politics, power and
culture, particularly looking at volunteer experience,
mega-sporting events and sporting celebrity in the context of
development. Darnell questions the belief that sport can offer a
'solution' to enduring development issues. Drawing on the latest
empirical research, the book is a thorough and timely analysis of
the social and political implications of tying sport to
development.
