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. 410 0$aThe European Union in International Affairs,$x2662-5911 606 $aInternational relations 606 $aEuropean Union 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aSports 606 $aInternational Relations$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912000 606 $aEuropean Union Politics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911140 606 $aPolitical Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911000 606 $aPopular Science in Sports$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q38000 615 0$aInternational relations. 615 0$aEuropean Union. 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 0$aSports. 615 14$aInternational Relations. 615 24$aEuropean Union Politics. 615 24$aPolitical Science. 615 24$aPopular Science in Sports. 676 $a796.06/9 686 $aSCI000000$2bisacsh 700 $aGeeraert$b A$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01058933 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255331003321 996 $aThe EU in International Sports Governance$92503237 997 $aUNINA
