Description

This comprehensive introduction to sport development policy and practice covers key theory, themes, issues, and debates in the field. The book provides an overview of the organisational landscape of sport in the UK, highlighting differences between England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, as well as the global context.

Examining both community and elite sport, the book explores public, private, and third sectors, including national and local government and national governing bodies. It also considers change - cultural, managerial, social, and political - as an element of sport development policy, strategy, and operations.

Each chapter includes a detailed case study, definitions of key concepts and terminology, and questions to encourage reflection on your own work. This book is an ideal foundation textbook for any sport development course taken as part of a degree program in sport development, sport management, or sport coaching.
