Sport Politics by Jonathan Grix
A comprehensive and lively introduction to the politics of sport. Introducing the key areas of the subject, it examines how governments around the world have increasingly invested in, promoted and used sport as part of their political agenda.
The strength of this book is mirrored in its political-science approach that is pursued consistently, while problem awareness for the political dimension of sport is basically illustrated … The value of the volume above all lies in sensitising readers to individual topics; as a systematic text book and regarding the linkage between sport and protest* Jürgen Mittag, Moving the Social, Vol. 61 *
