Rezensionen

"It is a convincing and damning critique of the organisation and culture of an international federation; one that asserts the importance of the federations and the informal networks that sustain their power. In doing so Krieger shows the need for similar critical assessments of other international federations. This is an essential contribution to our understandings of sport governance" - Malcolm MacLean, University of Gibraltar and University of Queensland, idrottsforum.org

"Power and Politics in World Athletics: A Critical History is a fascinating, diligently-researched account of the powerful and secretive organisation identified for most of its history by the acronym, IAAF ... an excellent and wide-ranging analysis' - David Owen, Chief Columnist, insidethegames.biz
