Governance has become a hugely important issue within sport. Issues
of corruption and 'bad governance' have become synonymous with some
aspects of sport and closer scrutiny than ever before is being
applied to ensure organisations are following international best
practice in respect to how they are governed. As sport
organisations are required to become more professional and to adopt
a more transparent and accountable approach to their operations, it
has become important for all students, researchers and
professionals working in sport to understand what good governance
is and how it should be achieved. This book is the first to examine
sport governance around the world. It offers a series of in-depth
case studies of governance policy and practice in 15 countries and
regions, including the US, UK, China, Australia, Canada, South
Africa, Latin America and the Middle East, as well as chapters
covering governance by, and of, global sport organisations and
international sport federations. With an introduction outlining the
key contemporary themes in the study of sport governance, and a
conclusion pointing at future directions for research and practice,
this book is essential reading for any course on sport management,
sport policy, sport development, sport administration or sport
organisations, and for any manager or policy-maker working in sport
and looking to improve their professional practice.
