    Call for Papers | “The Governance and Regulation of Sport” – PSA Sport and Politics Conference 2025 | Birkbeck, University of London, May 15–16, 2025. Call ends January 31,...

    Over the last two decades, as the commercial side of sport has grown, there has been increased public and political interest in the way that sport is governed and regulated. This has often been due to organisational failings, allegations of corruption, issues concerning athlete welfare, increasing legal intervention into sport and the changing nature of sporting competitions, that have led many to question whether the current structures, actors and systems within the sporting environment are fit for purpose: in essence questioning the governance and regulation of sport.

    Call for Papers | Sports and Foreign Politics: The Nordic Small States during the Cold War | Workshop, Stockholm University, November 2024. Call ends April 1. 2024

    To enhance the small state and Nordic perspective on international sports politics, we are inviting scholars from all disciplines to a workshop at Stockholm University, planned to take place in November 2024. The topic is the relationship between sport and foreign policy in the Nordic Countries during the Cold War. This topic should be understood broadly, both as the efforts of government agencies to use sports to promote their policies, and debates and strategies to handle questions in relation to foreign politics among sports federations and athletes.

    Call for Abstracts | “Sport in the Age of Geopolitical Crisis”, 2024 PSA Sport and Politics Specialist Group Conference | University of Edinburgh, March 21–22, 2024. Call ends December...

    The neoliberal international order has been facing challenges from several fronts, and this situation is escalating the level of conflict in different regions. The recent wars in Ukraine and Israel and the military tensions in the South China Sea represent the current world politics in flux. Sport is, by no means, immune to such a political climate. 2024 is the year of the Summer Olympic Games, and the IOC is still debating the participation of Russian and Belarusian athletes in Paris 2024.

    The full programme for Play the Game’s anniversary edition 2022 is ready

    When several hundred international journalists, academics, sport leaders, athletes and others with an interest in international sports politics convene in Odense for the 2022 edition of Play the Game, it happens at a dramatic turning point in sports politics. After a major doping scandal and the invasion in Ukraine, Russia's power in sport is shrinking, and the question of who and what will fill the power gap left behind will be prominent on the conference’s agenda.

    Pressmeddelande | Play the Game fejrer 25 år på dramatisk tidspunkt i idrætspolitik

    Det var i 1997, at Jens Sejer Andersen tog initiativ til den første konference for journalister og andre med interesse for idrættens økonomi, kultur, politik og andre oversete emner. Hurtigt blev Play the Game et ’hjem for de hjemløse spørgsmål i sport’: Emner som korruption i de internationale idrætsforbund, organiseret doping, matchfixing, seksuelle overgreb og krænkelser af menneskerettighederne ved store events.

    Call for Papers | Playing for Nations and/or States: Cricket and Politics in South Asia | Webinar, September 14, 2022. Call ends June 15, 2022

    Cricket like Bollywood is eulogized like a religion in South Asia and regarded as one of the most popular sports played in the region. Despite the popularity of the game and its ubiquitous relevance for the nation-states of South Asia, there has been a dearth of scholarly works to understand the game’s inexorable relationship with politics. This webinar is an effort to put the sports-politics nexus in South Asia on the global academic map.
