This is the first book in English to offer an overview of the development of the sport industry in Spain and Portugal, examining the social, economic, cultural, and political impact sport has had in this region and on world sport more broadly.

Drawing on sources in Spanish and Portuguese, the book presents important new perspectives and empirical material not previously available to English-speaking audiences. With a strong focus on management, development, economics, governance and law, set in a broader historical and socio-cultural context, the book explains the unique characteristics of the sport industry in the Iberian Peninsula. It takes a deep dive into Spanish and Portuguese football - in many ways the centre of gravity of Iberian sport – and into sport tourism, a hugely significant component of the broader economy of the region. The book also considers important emerging themes in Iberian sport, from the development of women’s sport to the global profile of Cristiano Ronaldo and Rafael Nadal, and considers the wider influence of Iberian sport across the wider Hispanic diaspora.

This is fascinating and illuminating reading for anybody with an interest in sport business and management, global sporting cultures, international business, or Hispanic or Latin American studies.

Organizations in every industry are facing pressure to become more sustainable, reduce their carbon footprint and ensure resources are reused, reduced and recycled; whether that push for change is from consumers or direct from government in terms of policy, and the sports industry is no exception.

A Global Perspective of Sustainability in Sports Organizations examines sports organizations from across the globe, highlighting similarities and differences to approaches in sustainability. Focusing on specific countries, chapters examine environmental protection, carbon footprints, the economic benefits of reducing use of resources, the UNSDGs, policy implementation and much more.

A practical examination of strategies, A Global Perspective of Sustainability in Sports Organizations will appeal to practitioners and policymakers while the academic discussion will appeal to researchers of sustainable business, economics, management and sports.
