SynopsisSport has changed. Traditions and territorial distinctions are dissolving as a result of new global, political, economic and cultural conditions. The team of authors examine these changes, investigating the power relations that govern the new global sport and assessing the consequences for the future of sport. The book is founded on a series of case studies, linked by a common process-sociological approach, and is divided into four sections - each dealing with an important aspect of sport and globalization: * the local-global nexus - how global sports processes are played out at the level of local communities * lived experiences - the reality of global sport for players and supporters * identity politics - the impact of global sport on national consciousness * sporting futures - the emergent political, economic and cultural forces that are shaping global sport, and their implications for its development. The text introduces new approaches to the study of sport and globalization, updating and extending Maguire's previous work, and is therefore an essential resource for all those working in this fast-changing area., "Power and Global Sport" explores global sport and the power relationships associated with sport in local, national, and international contexts. Through investigation of central themes such as global governance, local identity, and media representation, Maguire identifies key structured processes that have shaped the global development of sport. The analysis offers an important account both of how globalization is shaping contemporary sport, and of the role that sport plays in globalization., Sport has changed.
