The International Journal of Sport Policy and Politics aims to publish articles that address all aspects of sport policy irrespective of academic discipline. Articles that adopt a multi-disciplinary, inter-disciplinary or comparative approach are particularly welcome.

Sport Management Review is a multidisciplinary journal concerned with the management, marketing, and governance of sport at all levels and in all its manifestations – whether as an entertainment, a recreation, or an occupation.

As the official journal of the World Leisure Organisation, the purpose of the World Leisure Journal is to stimulate and communicate research, theory, and critical thought in all areas that address leisure, including play, recreation, the arts and culture, sport, festivals, events and celebrations, health and fitness, and travel and tourism. 

Leisure Sciences presents scientific inquiries into the study of leisure, recreation, parks, travel, and tourism from a social science perspective. Articles cover the social and psychological aspects of leisure, planning for leisure environments, leisure gerontology, travel and tourism behavior, leisure economics, and urban leisure delivery systems.

Idrott är ett självändamål, men också mer än så; nyttiggörande av idrott bortom sporten självt är på många håll en explicit förväntan. Sådana aspekter av idrott behandlas i antologin Managing Sport Development: An international approach av Emma Sherry, Nico Schulenkorf och Pamm Phillips (Routledge). Anders Östnäs recenserar förtjänstfullt.

In this original review for idrottsforum.org, Jay Coakley takes on two introductory textbooks in the sociology of sport, Sport Sociology by Peter Craig and Sport and Society, edited by Barrie Houlihan & Dominic Malcolm (both Sage Publications). His critical analysis from the point of view of the academic teacher leads him to a well-argued conclusions that will be rewarding reading for teachers as well as for the respective author/editors.

Två globala fenomen förenas i Ramón Spaaijs, Jonathan Magees och Ruth Jeanes’ Sport and Social Exclusion in Global Society. Men vad kan sporten bidra med i kampen mot social utslagning och isolering? Anders Östnäs fick mycket att fundera över.
