This important new book takes an explicitly spatial approach to sport, bringing together research in geography, sport studies and related disciplines to articulate a critical approach to 'sports geography'. Including cases from Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Europe and the Americas, it highlights the ways that space and power are produced through sport and its infrastructures, agencies and networks.
