The scope of the issue will include immigrants, emigrants, refugees, asylum seekers, and displaced people, and will focus on movement across international borders rather than domestic migration. Migration remains a cultural and competitive grey area when athletes— particularly those in underdeveloped nations—emigrate from their home country to compete for another, often with no cultural, historical, or linguistic link to their new nation. These athletes typically immigrate to developed countries at the expense of struggling sports systems in their home nations.

Today, the Danish Institute for Sports Studies releases a report by Rasmus K. Storm and Klaus Nielsen, commissioned by the Finnish Ministry of Education and Culture, that explores the decline of the Finnish elite sports system. The report shows that the Finnish system is challenged by an inability to set goals and pursue them for both cultural and structural reasons.

Contributors may come from any social or human science discipline, including sport management, marketing, sport policy, sociology, sport psychology, sport economics... Robust qualitative, quantitative and mixed method research approaches that would focus on the societal impact of elite sport are welcome. We are looking for studies that advance theory and knowledge on the understanding of societal impact of elite sport.

Syftet med Anna Maria Hellborgs studie är att problematisera och analysera uppfattningen om och konstruktionen av elitidrottsutövares ekonomiska villkor sedda genom en feministisk lins – och specifikt att undersöka och illustrera hur de ekonomiska förutsättningarna skiljer sig åt mellan kvinnor och män som vill investera i en elitidrottskarriär.

Syftet med avhandlingen är att jämföra och förklara utvecklingen av svensk och finsk herrelitishockey sedan 1970-talets mitt ur organisatoriska, ekonomiska och juridiska perspektiv samt utifrån de idrottsliga ideal och influenser som nordamerikanska NHL och ryska KHL representerar. Backmans idrottsvetenskapliga bidrag är att belysa den nordiska elitishockeyns moderniserings- och amerikaniseringsprocess.
