Rezensionen

"Grant Jarvie is one of the most authoritative voices on sport and its wider role in international development and community cohesion." - Baroness Tessa Jowell, Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, 2001-2007, Minister for the London Olympics and Paralympics, 2009-2010, UK

"Sport, Culture and Society endures as the seminal, inter-disciplinary work on the role sport has, does, and should play in domestic and international affairs. Now in its 3^rd iteration, the book is beautifully written, deeply researched and organised in a highly logical manner. The new case studies, which validate robust and time-tested theories, demonstrate that Jarvie and his opus remain as the world's leading sources on all matters sport." - Stuart Murray, Associate Professor of International Relations and Diplomacy, Bond University, Australia

"I have always considered Grant Jarvie's Sport, Culture and Society one of the most insightful, comprehensive, and readable accounts of the dynamic place of sports in the contemporary world order. He's done even better in this significantly enlarged and updated 3^rd edition. It's organized within a coherent theoretical lens, rich in examples drawn from every part of the world, and persuasively argued. What I particularly appreciate is his commitment to social justice, and his advice on how sports and sportspeople can either enable or undermine progressive social change." - Bruce Kidd, Vice President and Principal, University of Toronto Scarborough, Canada
