Description
Despite the importance of sport as a social, economic and political institution, research into sport and social capital has not been extensive. Sport and Social Capital is the first book to examine this increasingly high profile area in detail. It explores the
ways in which sport contributes to the creation, development, maintenance and, in some cases, diminution of social capital.
Written
by an internationally renowned author team who are leading figures in this area of study, this engaging and far-reaching text brings
leading research from around the world into one comprehensively edited volume. Themes covered in the book include: education, gender,
policy, community, youth sport, diversity and many more. It is essential reading for sport management, sport development and sport sociology
students around the globe and offers fascinating and invaluable insight to interested stakeholders from industry, community and government.
Audience
Primary: Level 3 undergraduates and postgraduates on sports studies, sport management, sport development and sport sociology courses.
Secondary: researchers, academics
