Compare Sport Participation And Olympic Legacies by Spencer Harris, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

Provision of, and participation in, community-level sport has risen up the policy agenda in many countries, as a tool for tackling social exclusion and improving well-being. This book offers a comparative analysis of community sport policy in three countries: England, the US and Russia. It examines success factors and explanations for failure, and explores the social, cultural, political and economic contexts that shape community sport in those countries. Offering a new theoretical framework and rich empirical data, it covers key topics such as governance, implementation and evaluation. Vital reading for students, researchers or policy makers working in sport development or management. | Sport Participation And Olympic Legacies by Spencer Harris, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
