Research in the Sociology of Sport reflects the current themes in the sociology of sport and also captures innovative trends as they emerge in the work of scholars across the globe. The series assists in bringing together research from experts on established topics whilst also directing attention to themes that are at the 'cutting-edge' of this sub-discipline.

This exciting series examines the relationships between sport, culture and society. The function, meaning and significance of sport in contemporary societies are critically appraised. Attention is given to both small-scale micro levels of interaction in sport subcultures and also to how these sport subcultures exist within the macro processes reflected in the historical and structural features of societies.

Each volume of Research in the Sociology of Sport will have specially commissioned experts examining a common theme. The existing body of knowledge on specific topics will be reviewed, specific aspect will be focussed on and new material highlighted. Each volume will be presented in a manner that will allow tutors to use the readings as an essential part of their class teaching and assignment work.
