Sport can be a vehicle for the expression of identity, and also a
factor in the shaping of identity. This book explores the complex
interrelationships between nations, regions and states in the
landscape of contemporary international sport, with a particular
focus on identity. Exploring important themes such as the
geopolitics of sports events, contested identities, and ownership
of sport and its impact on sporting cultures, the book presents
contemporary and historical cases from around the world, including
football in a divided Ireland; sport and the anti-Apartheid
movement; Chinese sporting nationalism and soft power; and the role
of sport media in the shaping of Catalan identity. This is an
important resource for students and researchers working in Sports
Studies, Sports Journalism, Sports Management Studies, Sports
Marketing, Football Studies, Sport and Identity Studies, Sociology
of Sport Studies, and Cultural Studies.
Sport is an essential part of community structure, membership and
identity. Whether on the field of play, in stadia, or on the
streets, sport has consistently brought together disparate
individuals to share culture, values and memories. Nowadays these
relationships are being rewritten through the effects of global
socio-economic practices, the interventions of government, the
impact of cultural imperialism and, at the local level, through the
actions of individuals and new constituencies that are emerging in
response. Furthermore, this generates discourse on matters of
regional and national identity. This themed issue presents a range
of essays that examine the relationship between sport and society
through the conceptual lenses of community, mobility and identity.
Drawing upon insights from contemporary history and current
political phenomena from leading academic specialists in the field,
the issue addresses cross-cutting themes such as loyalty and
allegiance, migration and integration, identity and collective
memory, and the politics of resistance and change, which will be of
interest to the political scientist, the contemporary historian and
sport scholar alike. This book was previously published as a
special edition of the journal Sport in Society.

Russell Holden considers the policy reversal on Europe made by the
Labour Party between 1983 and 1999. It charts and analyzes how the
Party became pro-European, with particular emphasis on how this
change was conceived and implemented. In so doing, it concentrates
on how the European issue became a political priority and dynamic
tool for promoting economic reform and Party unity, two essential
requirements in making the Party - New Labour - a credible
alternative government in the eyes of the general public.
