    New book provides insights about sport and society in the Western...

    Marko Begović’s Sports Policy and Politics in the Western Balkans (Routledge) examines not only the role of sport in fostering national pride and unity but also sheds light on the challenges of formulating effective sports policies in environments plagued by clientelism, corruption, and partisanship. Aage Radmann, with own experience of sport studies in the area, is our reviewer, and he is generally pleased with Begović’s analysis and reflective insights into sports and the social fabric of the region, with much to say about sport policy and governance.

    Disputation | Låt de rätta komma in och må de finna vägen ut: Om idrottsutbildningar, antagningsprocesser och karriärutveckling av Filip Andersson, Linnéuniversitetet, den 12...

    Filip Anderssons syfte med avhandlingen är att fördjupa förståelsen för gymnasiala idrottsutbildningar, särskilt de metoder och beslutsprocesser som ligger till grund för antagning av elever till dessa utbildningar, samt den betydelse de har i formandet av idrottskarriärer. Forskningssyftet uppnås med hjälp av fyra studier som rapporterats i artikelformat i vetenskapliga tidskrifter, och som sammantaget ger nya insikter i idrottsskolors funktion, såväl som i antagningsprocesser och karriärutveckling inom dem. Avhandlingen erbjuder värdefulla perspektiv för att förfina antagningsprocedurer och karriärvägledning.
