Sport, Politics and Social Policy Conference
Sport, as a cultural phenomenon, shapes politics, drives economies, highlights inequalities and contributes to our sense of identity and to our local and national pride.
Governments and international sports federations bid to host sports mega-events amidst allegations of corrupt practices, yet not all citizens want public money invested in sport at the expense of other services.
Rising levels of obesity and inactive lifestyles make sports participation a major concern for current government policy.
The use of sport in initiatives such as crime prevention, community development and health promotion campaigns also make sport a subject area of great relevance and political interest, particularly in the area of social policy.
