Comparative Elite Sport Development

Langue : Anglais

Coordonnateurs : Houlihan Barrie, Green Mick

Couverture de l’ouvrage Comparative Elite Sport Development

There is a paucity of academic work in the area of elite sport development despite there being ample evidence that achieving international sporting success is of increasing importance to the public (exemplified by consistent media interest in elite success or the lack of it) and to governments in most developed countries who have, almost without exception, increased the level of public funding for elite squad development often to the detriment of other sports policy objectives such as increasing general levels of participation.

Comparative Elite Sport Development: systems, structures and public policy focuses on the identification and development of elite sporting talent especially in Olympic sports. Written by a team of international contributors it applies a reflective and analytical approach, and both informs, and is informed by, established bodies of theory in policy analysis. Uniquely, it adopts a comparative approach of policy rivals, leading 'sports powers' and policy innovators, which provides broad and thorough analytical coverage.

“This collection is a rarity: the editors provide a clear conceptual framework to assist authors, the authors use the framework to inform their analyses of athlete development in each of nine nation-states, and the editors use the chapters to write a concluding chapter that identifies the complex social, economic, political, and historical factors that shape processes of creating elite athletes in today's societies. As a result, this collection comes together in a way that will keep readers engaged and leave them better informed about sports in society.”Jay Coakley, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of Sociology, University of Colorado, Colorado Springs, USA
