In Sport and Development for Peace, Simon Darnell outlines the most recent sociological research on the role of sport in development initiatives. The book analyses the relationship between sport and international development and looks at what this reveals about socio-political economy. It addresses a gap in the literature by focusing on issues of politics, power and culture, particularly looking at volunteer experience, mega-sporting events and sporting celebrity in the context of development. Darnell questions the belief that sport can offer a 'solution' to enduring development issues. Drawing on the latest empirical research, the book is a thorough and timely analysis of the social and political implications of tying sport to development."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 410 0$aGlobalizing Sport Studies. 606 $aSports$xSociological aspects 606 $aSports$zDeveloping countries 606 $aSports$xEconomic aspects 606 $aSports$xPolitical aspects 606 $aPeace-building 615 0$aSports$xSociological aspects. 615 0$aSports 615 0$aSports$xEconomic aspects. 615 0$aSports$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aPeace-building. 700 $aDarnell$b Simon$0801118 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910132452603321 996 $aSport for Development and Peace$91802478 997 $aUNINA
