Sport and Society in the Global Age

Are sports influenced by their social context? Can sport influence the social world? And how is sport changing in our increasingly globalized society?

- discusses a wide range of thinkers, from Gramsci to Castells
- reflects on developments in sport at local, global and national levels.
