In Sport, Law and Philosophy: The Jurisprudence of Sport (Routledge), edited by Miroslav Imbrišević, a number of contributions discuss the intersection of law and sport and highlights its usefulness to both legal scholars and philosophers of sport. We asked Westminster Law School Professor Guy Osborn for a review, and his reading of this timely collection gave rise to interesting reflections about the emerging area of jurisprudence of sport where law and philosophy intervenes in a field of human activity governed by rules – sport – that offers scholars a wide range of areas for intervention.

The ISLJ is the only truly “international” peer-reviewed sports law journal consistently offering broad content coverage, such as significant case law analysis, legal commentary and sports related information from sports law experts around the world.

Routledge Handbook of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, edited by Dikaia Chatziefstathiou, Borja García & Benoit Séguin (Routledge) presents new research and broad surveys exploring pressing debates, challenges and possible solutions surrounding the modern Olympic and Paralympic Games, across diverse socioeconomic and political contexts. Our reviewer Björn Sandahl contends that the handbook serves as a rich introduction to its field of study and thus should be of great interest to students and the interested general public.

In Political Expression in Sport: Transnational Challenges, Moral Defences (Routledge), Cem Abanazir looks at how private institutions governing and organising sport restrict political expression. Uniquely, it makes a case for the freedom of expression for athletes, spectators and audiences built upon philosophical foundations. Guy Osborn is our reviewer, and he appreciates this well-researched and authoritative book that’s tapping into an issue of significant contemporary importance. A useful addition to the literature.
