With a growing need to discuss and analyse issues, images and controversies with relevance to both the African and South African contexts, a detailed introduction to the sociology of sport is provided within this, the Southern African edition of Sports in society: issues and controversies. This adaptation of the American and international editions provides a meaningful framework and depth of sociological issues, theories, concepts and sporting practices in Africa, and then also, particularly South Africa. Inevitably, there are many similarities within this framework to the original text, and it therefore still forms the basis of exploring the dynamic relationship between sports, culture and society. Contents include the following: Diverse sports histories and political dispensations; Knowledge and theories about sports in society; Gender and ideological change; Race and race relations; Economic realities and inequalities; Global trends and affiliations; Media and sports relations; Sports for the future; Sports and development. Sports in society is the definitive text for learning sociology of sport in context, with extensive revisions so that students in Africa will find the content relevant and understandable in terms of their experiences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+J.+Coakley\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eJ.

Yet, despite the cost, size and scale of these bidding contests, relatively little academic attention has been paid to the strategies and tactics used to develop successful bids. Event Bidding: Politics, Persuasion and Resistance develops a comprehensive, critical understanding of the bidding processes surrounding the award of major peripatetic events. This is achieved by drawing together existing knowledge on the subject of event bidding, combining this with historical and contemporary examples to enable a critical commentary on the bidding process itself and the struggle for power that it represents.\n\nThe text draws on case studies of ‘mega events’ including the FIFA World Cup and the Olympic Games as well as a range of smaller peripatetic events from across the world to analyse the bidding process and some of the increasingly controversial issues which emerge during often lengthy and expensive bid campaigns. Finally, the text reflects on a range of critical issues of contemporary significance in bidding contests, including the growing ethical and governance issues surrounding the development and award of events as well as the impact of growing oppositional movements surrounding each contest.\n\nThis timely volume brings theory and practice together in one place to produce a critical appraisal of a phenomenon with a relatively recent history and is particularly suitable for students, researchers and academics of sports, events, tourism and related subject fields focusing on the strategic and political dimensions of major events.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+David+McGillivary\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eDavid McGillivary\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+WASM\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eWASM\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"David McGillivary,WASM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47395121594531,"sku":"9781138679283","price":1795.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9781138679283_ff968733-3658-4058-9c2a-be5f19f89d27.jpg?v=1776804091"},{"product_id":"9781032611273","title":"Discourses in Sport Communication in Africa and the African Diaspora","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book explores sport communication in Africa and the African diaspora.

It assesses whether sport can really be an effective tool in international development.\n\nThe book explores the unique challenges, issues and opportunities offered by sport for development in emerging nations. Bringing together case studies of sport and development in countries including Brazil, China, Czech Republic, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Poland, Qatar, South Africa, South Korea and Turkey, the book looks at policies designed to achieve development through, by and for sport, and whether they have achieved their socio-economic objectives. It considers the way that emerging nations have used major international sports events as political and developmental projects, as well as the importance of sporting infrastructure, professional leagues, participation programmes and the influence of nationalism and ideology.\n\nWith a truly global perspective, this book is important reading for any student, researcher or policy-maker with interest in sport management, sport development, development studies, international economics, globalisation or political science.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Brendon+Knott\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eBrendon Knott\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+WASM\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eWASM\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Brendon Knott,WASM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47395121758371,"sku":"9780367757830","price":1070.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9780367757830_52dc4331-d14d-4ad5-af00-3f68c4f47db9.jpg?v=1776803043"}],"url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/collections\/sport-management.oembed?page=2","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
