This book takes a deep dive into the factors that lead to
countries’ success in elite sport. While some researchers have
suggested looking at the political, economic, demographic,
geographic and cultural characteristics of a country, other
scholars have advocated that meso-level strategies such as
financial support, governance, and talent identification systems
are the factors that need to be taken into consideration. Taking
into account the two sides of this debate, the authors review and
evaluate these various components. They go on to use this review to
propose a new holistic framework of analysis that includes the
macro, meso and micro-level factors that lead to national success
in elite sport. This is a valuable resource for researchers and
students interested in sport management, particularly the subject
of sport governance. In addition, sports consultants and
policymakers will find this to be an eye-opening read.
Lebanon is a unique country. Its small size, numerous communities,
geographical context, history of conflicts and foreign invasions
contribute in making this research a unique study in the field of
humanities and social sciences. The study of such a case gets even
more complex when it comes to the evaluation of the position of
sport in this society. Lebanese sport reflects all the different
parameters of the Lebanese scene: economic difficulties,
administrative problems, religious and political tension. The
situation of sport in this country is rendered even more
complicated by the fact that the budget granted to sport is
relatively very small; a fact that is not only detailed but is
proven to have direct effects on the low position that Lebanon has
in the different international sport rankings. Academically,
research on this field is also still very limited and the very few
works done in this domain are more descriptive than analytic. The
aims of this thesis, new in its kind, is, first, to do an analysis
on the sport policy administered in Lebanon from 1975 to 2004, and,
then, after defining its different characteristics, propose a plan
for development.
