In Sport and Development for Peace, Simon Darnell outlines the most recent sociological research on the role of sport in development initiatives. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book analyses the relationship between sport and international development and looks at what this reveals about socio-political economy. It addresses a gap in the literature by focusing on issues of politics, power and culture, particularly looking at volunteer experience, mega-sporting events and sporting celebrity in the context of development. Darnell questions the belief that sport can offer a 'solution' to enduring development issues. Drawing on the latest empirical research, the book is a thorough and timely analysis of the social and political implications of tying sport to development.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49751231922424,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":103.69,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/8208\/6904\/files\/9781472539540-1.jpg?v=1783704140","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.au\/products\/9781472539540","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
