This book is a critical exploration of motorsport’s contribution to ‘the green transition’, understood as a societal shift towards a fossil-free future, a circular economy, and greater social inclusiveness. The book takes a critical look at the historical impact of motorsport and the current business and sporting models that determine its sustainability, as well as the innovation that might contribute solutions to wider social and environmental problems. Drawing on perspectives from sociology, media and sport business, the book unpacks the complexity of stakeholder interests in motorsport that might constrain positive change. Presenting cases and data from Formula One, Formula E, Extreme E, the World Rally Championship, NASCAR and the World Endurance Championship, the book considers the technological and organizational change required to address the triple bottom line of financial, environmental and social sustainability, and looks at how audiences, markets, teams, governing bodies, corporations, and state actors combine to shape the social and economic environments within which motorsport takes place. Representing a unique case study of the impact of elite sport on wider society, this book is fascinating reading for anybody with an interest in motorsport, sport business, sustainable business, or environment, society and culture.

This book takes a critical look at the role that sport can play in fostering social cohesion. It presents important conceptual and empirical material that sheds new light on what works, and what doesn’t, in terms of the use of sport as a tool of social policy. The book presents original research from a major international project, the Sport for Social Cohesion Lab (SSCL), that was designed to improve social cohesion in diverse, vulnerable urban neighborhoods and to support practitioners in delivering high-quality sport-for-social-cohesion. Examining the results from that project, the book also critically considers the varying definitions of ‘social cohesion’ and how outcomes are monitored and evaluated, as well as the needs, expectations and understanding of the participants. This is discussed in the context of research into other international sport-for-development projects focused on social cohesion, providing a full-spectrum analysis of both theory and practice in this important area of sports research. This is fascinating reading for all researchers, advanced students or practitioners with an interest in sport development, sport policy, social policy, or the relationship between sport and wider society.

This book explores the intersection of contemporary sport, advertising, promotional culture and wider society. Arguing that advertising and promotional culture remain key driving forces in relation to social structures and systems that contribute to enduring patterns of economic and other forms of inequality, this book examines how sport and related areas of social life continue to be transformed by these forces. Presenting in‐depth international case studies covering topics such as Nike’s sign economies, the sports‐gambling‐media complex, sportswashing/greenwashing, radical politics in sport advertising, sport and corporate nationalism, and girls’ empowerment and transgender exclusion in sports, this book sheds critical new light on some of the most important themes in the study of global consumer culture in the emerging era of surveillance capitalism. Overall, this book examines sport advertising through the lens of the circuit of cultural commodification – including production, representation, consumption and regulation – in order to provide insights into the formation, complexities and contradictions of social identities, commodities and brands. This is fascinating reading for anybody with an interest in the sociology, culture and politics of sport, or cultural studies, media studies, and the wider politics and social significance of late‐stage capitalism.

Against the backdrop of the recent and renewed political and policy interest in the safety and security in European football contexts, this book examines the ways in which the regulation of insecurities in European football has been advanced by European institutions and organizations, and contested by football supporters, from the 1980s to the present day. This book therefore produces an updated empirical but theoretically informed account of how insecurities in football have been responded to and countered on a European level through expressions of power and counter-power. By drawing on material from interviews, and analyses of international legal texts, policy documents and historical football fanzines, Insecurities in European Football and Supporter Cultures uses European football as a window to understand wider processes of (in)security and the regulation of cultures, social groups and contested spaces. Utilizing perspectives from contemporary sociology and critical security studies, this book produces the argument that, as institutions’ risk-focused logics and precautionary principles have been embedded in the attempts to secure European football, it is simultaneously possible to observe a reflexive culture of contestation that has matured across four decades in European football. Insecurities in European Football and Supporter Cultures is an important, fascinating and timely reading for anybody with an interest in the sociology of sport, football, security studies, surveillance, social theory and sport studies.

Football And Violent Extremism written by Alberto Testa and has been published by Taylor & Francis this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2024-11-18 with Political Science categories.
This book examines the ways that nationalist leaders and extremist groups have used football to advance their often-violent ideological narratives and to recruit and radicalise young people. Drawing on applied ethnographic research with the Ultra fan groups of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), the book explores the behavioural dynamics of the BiH Ultras both on, and outside of, the football terraces. The book shines important new light on the Ultras' ideology, organisation and youth recruiting strategies, and their connections with other extremist groups. In a country and region divided on ethnic and religious lines, in which far-right and ethno-nationalist groups are a visible presence in politics and society, this book helps us to better understand why, when, and how BiH youth choose to join these groups, and why, when, and how these groups participate in violent acts, hate speech, crime, and racist actions. The book has important implications for efforts to counter violent extremism across the Western Balkans and beyond. This is valuable reading for any researcher, advanced student, policy maker, or practitioner working in sport studies, political science, criminology, development studies, security studies, or post-conflict studies.

Telling an important story about the development of modern Turkey, this fascinating book examines the place of football in Turkish society and the relationship between Turkish sport, nationalism, and globalization. Drawing on original ethnographic research with Turkish football fans, as well as players and coaches, the book argues that Turkish sport, particularly football, has played an important role in Turkish modernity, offering another way to mark Turkish national identity. At the same time, as football has become part and parcel of the global culture industry, the inclusive aspect of Turkish sport is threatened by the trend to commodification and mediatization, as football has become less of a national project and more of a global project increasingly intertwined with the global economy. Blending history, sociology, political science, and cultural analysis, this book is important reading for anybody with an interest in football, fandom, nationalism, modernity, Middle Eastern or European studies, or the relationship between sport and wider society.
