"Sport and International Development" by ed. Roger Levermore, Aaron Beacom (Repost)

The objective of this book is to put sport-in-development on the map in the development literature, and to position it within the larger international development debates. For a subject that is so rich in analytic potential, and currently so popular, it is surprising that this has not happened before.

Investigating the capacity of sport to act both as a conduit for traditional development assistance activities and as an agent for change in its own right, this book argues that sport can contribute to the development process, particularly where traditional development approaches have difficulty in engaging with communities.
