The call for sport organizations and organizers to take up social
responsibilities is reflected in a wide variety of sport-related
practices. This book critically examines sport-related social
interventions in different cultural settings, such as promoting
local community-building by sport. Social constructions of peace,
integration and managing diversity are studied from the perspective
of sport and play, and the power position of global sport
organizations with corporate features is discussed from the
perspectives of good governance, legal issues and fair trade.
Referring to Foucault's concept of biopolitics, this book
contributes to the discussion on the rising power position and the
social responsibilities of sports and sport organizations. It is a
valuable contribution to the understanding of interconnections
between sport and society for students in sociology, policy and
politics of sport, for sport leaders, and for policy and
decision-makers in sport.
