Who owns sport? - 7

This fascinating collection of essays explores the complex economic, political, cultural and social claims over sport, from multi-disciplinary perspectives including philosophy, history, political science and management.

The book seeks to uncover some of the tensions and dilemmas wrapped up within aspects of owning sport and attempts to make sense of the place, role, meaning and function of sport when set against the broad notion of ownership.

It considers the relationships between individuals, organisations and institutions, and investigates the power of grassroots participants from the bottom up.
