Opis

Corruption within the sport industry is a pervasive and complex issue that threatens the integrity of sport as an institution. From doping and match-fixing, to bribery in the bidding processes for major sports events, corruption should be a concern to anybody interested in sport management, sport policy, governance, ethics, or the relationship between sport and wider society. Adopting a multi-level, multi-disciplinary approach, and covering both theoretical and applied aspects, this is the first book to explore the complexity of sport corruption in terms of its conceptualization, causes, consequences, and calls for reform, and to outline directions for future research.

Recenzje

"This book is very useful for those who want to gain a better understanding of sport corruption and for researchers who are interested in conducting research in the area of corruption in sport. The major contribution of this book is that it opens the door for future research in this area. Meanwhile, this book can be used for upper undergraduate and graduate courses (e.g., sport governance, sport communication, sport sociology, and ethics in sports)" – Eddie T. C. Lam, International Journal of Sport Communication
