This book provides an overview of perspectives and approaches to
the cultural meaning of sport volunteering in different countries.
The main objective is to reflect on the diversity of meanings with
regard to volunteering in different cultures and societies.
Additionally, this book will shed light on volunteering practices
and the impact of volunteering from both an economic and a
sociological perspective. The book begins with an introductory
section that gives an overview of the rationale of the text and the
diversity of sport volunteers in general. From there, the book's 25
chapters each discuss a specific country case study provided by
researchers from the respective country. These studies provide a
comprehensive overview of volunteering in each country, such as
motivations of volunteers, satisfaction of volunteers, their
perceived cost and benefits, and many other areas related to the
overall study. By having twenty-five different countries
represented and a native of each country authoring the respective
chapters, this book serves as a comprehensive and diverse review of
sports volunteering around the world and can be incorporated into
courses in economics - particularly those dealing with sports
economics - and can also be used as a reference for volunteer
organizations and sports economists worldwide.
The aim of this book is to provide an overview of perspectives and
approaches to sports development focusing on sport systems, sport
participation and public policy towards sports. It includes twelve
European countries covering all regions of Europe and eleven
countries from around the globe. The objective is to present an
overview of the diversity of approaches taken to sport development,
focusing on the different sport systems and how sport is financed,
the underlying applications of sport policy and how it is reflected
in sport participation. This book takes a comparative approach
which is reflected in each chapter following a similar structure.
The diversity of sports systems in Europe and other continents and
their (historical) context is shown. Thereby a range of policy
approaches underpinning sport development around the world are
presented, making it of interest to both academics and
policy-makers concerned with sports economics and policy.
