This book is a concept we use to explain the invasive and pervasive role of sport in global society and in each country around the world. From the origins of modern sports to today, sports have become more and more commercial, global, and universally understood as important parts of economies, cultures, and political debates. The 2018 thawing of relations on the Korean Peninsula, and between North Korea and the USA, can be attributed in part to the inclusive practices of the Winter Olympics; yet the Russian doping scandal and the ramifications from that suggest that a new Cold War in sport has emerged which is played out in social media as well as in diplomatic circles. Beyond the elite levels, however, sport is key to social identification and cultural capital building, and for social integration. Regardless of how we view sport, it is clear that it is a powerful social technology with the ability to transform society and influence political and economic debates. The chapters in this book were originally published in special issues in Sport in Society.

The story of global sport is the story of expansion from local development to globalized industry, from recreational to marketized activity. Alongside that, each sport has its own distinctive history, sub-cultures, practices and structures. This ambitious new volume offers state-of-the-art overviews of the development of every major sport or classification of sport, examining their history, socio-cultural significance, political economy and international reach, and suggesting directions for future research. Expert authors from around the world provide varied perspectives on the globalization of sport, highlighting diverse and often underrepresented voices. By putting sport itself in the foreground, this book represents the perfect companion to any social scientific course in sport studies, and the perfect jumping-off point for further study or research.The Routledge Handbook of Global Sport is an essential reference for students and scholars of sport history, sport and society, the sociology of sport, sport development, sport and globalization, sports geography, international sports organizations, sports cultures, the governance of sport, sport studies, sport coaching or sport management.

This Handbook is the first to bring together scholars working in the quickly evolving field of menstruation in sport research. After decades of silencing, stigma and taboo, menstruation in sport is finally garnering the attention of sports organizations, media and the public alike. Yet many longstanding and new challenges continue to face menstruators as they participate in sport and physical activity environments. Focusing on health, wellbeing and performance, this foundational volume brings together researchers from different disciplines and contexts to advance new theoretical, methodological and practical insights into the historical, social, cultural, economic, mediated, technological, physiological and endocrinological complexities of menstruation in sport. With contributions from those living and working in a range of geographical contexts (Africa, Australia, China, Canada, Fiji, New Zealand, Switzerland, the United States of America and the United Kingdom), the Handbook explores the importance of cultural contexts in shaping knowledge, practices and policies relating to menstruation in sport and physical activity. The extensive transdisciplinary and international breadth of topics provides not only a cohesive summary of the current literature of menstruation in sport but critical perspectives on current debates, oversights, and next steps in the study, policy and practice of menstruation in sport. In so doing, the Handbook makes a timely and critical intervention for scholars, students, sports organisations and practitioners working to remove gendered barriers and obstacles in sport and physical activity.
