Ten key international authorities in their respective fields lead you through the most important political elements of contemporary sport.This book is the first of its kind. It provides a wide ranging perspective through time and place and will be an invaluable tool for students studying sport from an historical and political perspective, and also for those who have a general interest in sport at its interface with politics.
