This book makes an important contribution to the growing literature
on sport in international development. It introduces and explores
the practice and efficacy of international sport development
through the experiences of young people who become engaged in sport
programmes, as described in their own words and those of other
members of their communities. Drawing on the findings of three
in-depth research studies conducted with young people in Brazil,
India and Zambia, the book provides a critical and wide-ranging
portrayal of the role that sport can play within the lives of young
people, locating this firmly within wider social, economic and
political contexts. Alongside its delivery of new empirical
research on young people, the book engages with fundamental
academic debates surrounding 'evidencing' impacts of sport and
explores issues surrounding the cultural specificity of research
approaches currently in use in sport in development work. This
contribution to theory and methodology has important implications
beyond the international development context, to the broader area
of research surrounding evidencing the impacts of sport. Based on
unique data, the book extends our knowledge and understanding of
youth sport and is essential reading for anybody with an interest
in sport development, international development or sport in
society.
