Transnational and Comparative Research in Sport: Globalisation, Governance and S

Description: Transnational and Comparative Research in Sport by Ian Henry Identifies, illustrates and evaluates the major approaches to comparative and transnational analysis in sports studies, addressing common assumptions that can hamper meaningful research. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The wider adoption of a post-modern understanding of truth and knowledge, an acceptance of the prevalence of Orientalism inherent in much Western research, and the diminished significance of the local within the rhetoric of globalization have all combined to constrain comparative and transnational research under the weight of theoretical and methodological concerns. Transnational and Comparative Research in Sport addresses these difficulties in the context of sport studies, with the aim of developing typology which can be adopted to help re-establish meaningful transnational and comparative research. The book covers theoretical and substantive contexts and introduces a four-fold typology of approaches to comparative research, each supported by case studies and full discussion. .
