Globalization and Sport: Playing the World

By Toby Miller, Jim McKay, David Rowe, et al.

Globalization and Sport argues that although sport is a source of pleasure, it is also part of the government of everyday life. The creation of a sporting calendar, movements of rational recreation and the development of public sector physical education, are read as ways of disciplining and shaping urban-industrial populations.
