Tackling social exclusion should be a central aim of any civilised social policy. In this meticulously revised and updated new edition of his study, 'Sport and Social Exclusion', Mike Collins has assembled a vast array of new evidence from a range of global sources to demonstrate how the effects of social exclusion are as evident in sport as they are in any area of society. The book uses sport as an important sphere for critical reflection on existing social policy and explores sport's role as a source of initiatives for tackling exclusion.
