The EU in International Sports Governance

A Principal-Agent Perspective on EU Control of Fifa and Uefa

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book demonstrates that the European Union (EU) can curtail the autonomy of FIFA and UEFA by building upon insights from the principal-agent model. The author argues that EU institutional features complicate control, but do not render the EU powerless, and that FIFA and UEFA can deploy a variety of strategies to mitigate control.
