"This collection edited by J.A. Mangan, Peter Horton, and Christian Tagsold is cutting edge scholarship about a development of enormous consequences both for regional geopolitics and global sports studies. It is the exciting launch volume of a new series by Peter Lang on Sport in East and Southeast Asian Societies edited by Professor Mangan. The organized sports of the modern era, their administrative bodies, and their special relationships may have developed in Great Britain, Europe, and the United States, but in the twentieth-first century, it is the nations of East Asia which are fast becoming the dynamic center of the global sports scene with all the associated geopolitical softpower consequences. This is certainly true for soccer, which is rapidly becoming the major sport throughout the region and particularly in China. This collection is the most comprehensive and cosmopolitan analysis yet of how China—the state, the media, corporate sponsors, and a nation of passionate fans—is becoming a soccer superpower, inter alia, in pursuit of international softpower supremacy."—William W. Kelly, Sumitomo Professor Emeritus of Japanese Studies, Yale University, United States
