Contrasting with the US authorities' decisive action, the EU seemed largely absent from the 2015 FIFA corruption saga. Even though the EU has established itself as an actor in its own right in international sports governance, there is still a lack of clarity over its capabilities to control SGBs. By employing a triangular principal-agent model, and by focusing on the case of EU control of FIFA and UEFA, the author demonstrates that the EU holds significant opportunities to control SGBs through both law and policy. There are, however, important limits as well. EU institutional features complicate control, but do not render the EU powerless. Most importantly, though, SGBs can deploy a variety of strategies to mitigate control. In considering these strategies and their effects on the EU's influence, this book provides an informed analysis that will particularly appeal to students and scholars of the EU, sports organizations, and global governance.The European Union in International Affairs,2662-5911International relationsEuropean UnionPolitical scienceSportsInternational Relationshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912000European Union Politicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911140Political Sciencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911000Popular Science in Sportshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q38000International relations.European Union.Political science.Sports.International Relations.European Union Politics.Political Science.Popular Science in Sports.796.06/9SCI000000bisacshGeeraert Aauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1058933BOOK9910255331003321The EU in International Sports Governance2503237UNINA
