Produktbeschreibung

This updated and expanded new edition explores how sport is manipulated for economic and political gain. Manipulation in sport takes many forms and carefully selected chapters detail the broad variety of ways this can take place. The different types of manipulation in sport are outlined, including doping, match-fixing, and breaking financial regulations, to provide a foundation to the topic. The role of legal interventions, in particular the Macolin Convention, as part of the fight -back against match-fixing is discussed, alongside chapters highlighting how poor governance can allow sport to be exploited by bad actors. New chapters looking at whistleblowing, sportwashing, and e-sports broaden the scope of the book and explore recent debates.

This book aims to examine manipulation in sport through the lens of economics, bringing light to the various ways benefits can be gained from rule and regulation breaches. It will be relevant to students and researchers interested in sports economics and sport governance.

Markus Breuer is Professor at SRH University Heidelberg.
