From Major League Baseball to English soccer's Premier League, all
successful contemporary professional sports leagues include a wide
diversity of nationalities and ethnicities within their playing and
coaching rosters. The international migration of sporting talent
and labour, encouraged and facilitated by the social and economic
undercurrents of globalization, mean that world sport is now an
important case study for any student or researcher with an interest
in international labour flows, economic migration, global
demography or the interdependent world economy. In this dazzling
collection of papers, leading international sport studies scholars
chart the patterns, policies and personal experiences of labour
migration within and around sport, and in doing so cast important
new light both on the forces shaping modern sport and on the role
that sport plays in shaping the world economy and global society.
Presenting original case studies of sports from European and
African soccer to Japanese baseball to rugby union in New Zealand,
the book makes an important contribution to our understanding of a
wide range of issues within contemporary social science, such as
national identity politics, economic structure and organization,
north-south relations, imperial legacies and gender relations. This
book is invaluable reading for students and researchers working in
sport studies, human geography, economics or international
business.

This handbook illustrates the utility of global sport as a lens
through which to disentangle the interconnected political,
economic, cultural, and social patterns that shape our lives.
Drawing on multidisciplinary perspectives, it is organized into
three parts. The first part outlines theoretical and conceptual
insights from global sport scholarship: from the conceptualization
and development of globalization theories, transnationalism and
transnational capital, through to mediasport, roving coloniality,
and neoliberal doctrine. The second part illustrates the varied
flows within global sport and the ways in which these flows are
contested, across physical cultures/sport forms, identities,
ideologies, media, and economic capital. Diverse topics and cases
are covered, such as sport business and the global sport industry,
financial fair play, and global mediasport. Finally, the third part
explores various aspects of global sport development and
governance, incorporating insights from work in the Global South.
Across all of these contributions, varied approaches are taken to
examine the 'power of sport' trope, generating a thought-provoking
dialogue for the reader. Featuring an accomplished roster of
contributors and wide-ranging coverage of key issues and debates,
this handbook will serve as an indispensable resource for scholars
and students of contemporary sports studies.
This title covers Coherence features progressively, from simple to
more advanced topics, and provides best-practice guidance on when
and how to use each. Numerous examples are provided throughout the
book that will help you become familiar with Coherence APIs. You
will also be able to reuse many of the sample classes or
mini-frameworks encapsulating Coherence best practice and providing
missing features directly within your own applications. This should
significantly increase your productivity when developing Coherence
applications. Finally, a sample application that you can download
from the companion web site will show you how to use Coherence as
part of the broader infrastructure stack, including Spring
Framework and Hibernate, as well as how to access Coherence from a
WPF-based .NET desktop application. This book is written for
architects and developers responsible for the design and
development of Internet or Enterprise applications (web-based or
otherwise) that need to scale to support a large number of
simultaneous users, while at the same time providing fast response
times and high availability. The book assumes a solid knowledge of
Java, and a familiarity with Domain Driven Design (DDD) is helpful.
