What is, or what should be, the function of sport in a globalized,
commercialized world? Why does sport matter in the 21st century? In
Ethics and Governance in Sport: the future of sport imagined, an
ensemble of leading international experts from across the fields of
sport management and ethics calls for a new model of sport that
goes beyond the traditional view that sport automatically
encourages positive physical, psychological, social, moral and
political values. Acknowledging that sport is beset by poor
practice, corruption, and harmful behaviors, it explores current
issues in sport ethics, governance and development, considering how
good governance and the positive potentials of sport can be
implemented in a globalized sporting landscape. Ethics and
Governance in Sport suggests a future model of sport governance
based on well substantiated projections, and argues that
identifying the root causes of harmful behavior, those things that
are characteristic of sport, and engaging sport managers, policy
makers and leaders of sport organizations, is essential if sport is
to thrive. The book's interdisciplinary examination of sport,
encompassing philosophy, sociology, economics, management and sport
development, and its forward-looking approach makes it important
reading for advanced students, researchers and policy makers with
an interest in the place and development of modern sport. Its clear
messages invite self-reflection and discussion, especially within
sports organizations.
