Soccer is undeniably the most popular sport in the world. While we
know much about its high-profile players and their increasing
wealth and global influence, we know little about referees and the
ways in which refereeing has changed throughout the history of the
sport. This book provides an in-depth exploration of the evolution
of the match official. It presents a comparative analysis of elite
Association football referees in England, Spain and Italy, as well
as offering insights into the involvement of UEFA and FIFA in
referee training. Drawing on archive material, the book documents
the historical development of refereeing and sheds new light on the
practice of elite refereeing in the present day. Including
exclusive interviews with elite and ex-elite referees, as well as
with professional soccer managers and members of the broadcast
media, it considers the current role of match officials and the
challenges and controversies they encounter. Elite Soccer Referees:
Officiating in the Premier League, La Liga and Serie A is
fascinating reading for all students and scholars with an interest
in soccer, sport history, sport policy, sport management and the
sociology of sport.

This book is about the need for an alternative to capitalism. But
what does that alternative look like? And given the ever-increasing
wealth and power of the 1 percent and the fact that corporations
are given carte blanche to turn natural resources into profit, is
an alternative possible? Tom Webb argues that a massive shift to
social enterprise, primarily co-operatives, is required. More than
250 million people around the world work for co-operatives, and
co-operatives impact the lives of three billion people. This model
reduces almost every negative impact of capitalism -- it is a model
that works. Webb outlines the principles co-operatives need to hold
to if they are to be a successful alternative to capitalism and
examines the public-policy changes needed to nurture such a
transition, but he remains neither wildly optimistic nor unduly
pessimistic. A better world is possible, but it is not inevitable.
For the past three decades, neoclassical doctrine has dominated
economic theory and policy. The balance of power has shifted to
protect private interests, resulting in unprecedented damage to the
environment and society, with no solution in sight as more
austerity and less government continues to be posited as the answer
to the oncoming waves of crisis. It doesn't have to be this way.
Featuring a remarkable roster of internationally renowned critical
thinkers, Co-operatives in a Post-Growth Era presents a feasible
alternative for a more environmentally sustainable and equitable
economic system - specifically, the co-operative business model.
With more than 100 million people working in co-operatives and more
than a billion members around the world, the time has never been
better for co-operatives everywhere to recognise their potential to
change the economic landscape. An essential book for students,
policymakers and concerned citizens looking for a practical way to
change the current stagnant economic paradigm.
