Sport And International Relations: An Emerging Relationship (sport In The Global Society)

ii Sport in the Global Society General Editor: J.A. Mangan SPORT AND INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS SPORT IN THE GLOBAL SOCIETY General Editor: J.A. Mangan The interest in sports studies around the world is growing and will continue to do so. This unique series combines aspects of the expanding study of sport in the global society, providing comprehensiveness and comparison under one editorial umbrella. It is particularly timely, with studies in the political, cultural, anthropological, ethnographic, social, economic, geographical and aesthetic elements of sport proliferating in institutions of higher education. Eric Hobsbawm once called sport one of the most significant practices of the late nineteenth century. Its significance was even more marked in the late twentieth century and will continue to grow in importance into the new millennium as the world develops into a ‘global village’ sharing the English language, technology and sport.
