Debates around the 'sport for development and peace' (SDP) movement
have entered a new phase, moving on from simple questions
surrounding the utility of sport as a tool of international
development. Beyond Sport for Development and Peace argues that
critical research and new perspectives and methodologies are
necessary to balance the local aspects and global influences of
sport and to better understand the power relations embedded in SDP
on a transnational scale. As the era of the Millennium Development
Goals gives way to a new agenda for sustainable development, this
book considers the position of SDP. The book brings together
contributors from 15 different countries across the developed and
developing worlds, including academic researchers and 'on the
ground' experts, practitioners and policy-makers, to provide one of
the most diverse set of perspectives assembled in SDP scholarship.
Looking to the renewed development agenda, its authors explore
theoretical, policy and practical dimensions that address the
broadening geographical and cultural spread of SDP, the emergence
of issues such as child protection within it, its increased
capacity for critical reflection on practice, and its potential for
new collaborative approaches to knowledge production. Through its
combination of academically-led chapters paired with
practice-oriented 'responses' it offers an important
reconceptualization of SDP as a contributor to development policy,
and opens up important new avenues for studying and 'practising'
SDP. Beyond Sport for Development and Peace is therefore essential
reading for all researchers, advanced students, policy-makers and
practitioners working in sport development or international
development.
Transnational organizations and practitioners who use sport for
international development often position sport as a unique option
for tackling development challenges. While sport can be a tool for
social change, the authors in this collection bring a critical eye
to this assumption and offer new perspectives on the use of sport
for development and peace (SDP) in local and global contexts. The
book seeks to generate new dialogues and explore linkages for
development and SDP researchers through considerations of sport’s
potential to challenge and/or perpetuate key global issues and
problems. These analyses consider the SDP work done ‘on the
ground’ and interrogate the historical, social and political
circumstances of these practices. The authors explore how best to
examine, theorize, critique and potentially improve local SDP
initiatives. This book will be of great interest to students and
researchers of both Development Studies and Sport. It was
originally published as a special issue of the online journal Third
World Thematics.

The ebook edition of this title is Open Access, thanks to Knowledge
Unlatched funding, and freely available to read online. In a
context where striving for gender equity in relation to achieving
the UN Sustainable Development Goals seems more pressing than ever
before, Sport, Gender and Development: Intersections, Innovations
and Future Trajectories brings together an exploration of sport
feminisms to offer new approaches to research on Sport for
Development and Peace (SDP) in global and local contexts. Including
postcolonial and decolonial feminist lenses by drawing upon
fieldwork with organizations and individuals in Afghanistan,
Uganda, Nicaragua, and India, Sport, Gender and Development reveals
the complexities of development and gender discourses and how they
operate on and through researchers, practitioners, and
participants' bodies. Delving into a thoughtful engagement with the
(dis)connections and comparisons across these diverging contexts,
this book offers a critically reflexive account of what is
transpiring in the transnational sport, gender and development
field, while remaining sensitive to the importance of community
context and local iterations. Taking up emerging and contemporary
feminist issues in sport related international development, this
book advances empirical, conceptual, and theoretical developments
in sport, gender and development.
