The eight chapters in this book explore more than 150 years of the
development of several modern sports - baseball, basketball,
cricket, football, handball, ice hockey and lacrosse - across the
two Americas, Asia, Australia and Europe, some analysing a century
of events since the mid-nineteenth century and some only a few
years in the very present. Drawing on the methods of history,
international relations, political science, and sociology, the
contributing authors examine various theories of sporting
globalization. The chapters take a balanced look at the concepts of
the nation state and the connected world, which are the substantive
core around which modern human society is ordered. They construct
stories of entanglements and convergences, from within and without
the nation state, in which the national and the non-national are
not mutually exclusive. The key features of this collection are how
cultural elements are introduced to sport, how changes are
perceived, how sporting practices and institutions can be defined
at geopolitical and other levels, how we might conceptualize the
perimeter of judging the national-transnational or the
local-translocal paradigms, and how we could complicate the
understanding of sport/knowledge transfer by ascribing different
degrees of importance to origin, process, purpose, outcome,
personnel and network. This book is a multidisciplinary exploration
into the development of modern sporting culture from global and
transnational history perspectives. The chapters originally
published as a special issue in Sport in Society.
