Book Reviews
De Paralympiske Lege – set med danske øjne by Jens Boe Nielsen
Jens Boe Nielsens De Paralympiske Lege – set med danske øjne (Syddansk Universitetsforlag) beskriver utvecklingen fram emot det världsomspännande sportevenemang som de paralympiska spelen är idag, när de hålls i samma lokaler som de olympiska spelen och alltid strax efter OS. Vår recensent är Björn Sandahl vid GIH, och han konstaterar att detta förvisso inte är en vetenskaplig framställning men väl en lättillgänglig och trivsam introduktion till Paralympics. (Book in Danish. review in Swedish published 220907)
Sports Diplomacy: Sports in the Diplomatic Activities of States and Non-State Actors by Michał Marcin Kobierecki
In Sports Diplomacy: Sports in the Diplomatic Activities of States and Non-State Actors (Lexington Books), Michał Marcin Kobierecki analyzes the place and role of sport within public diplomacy, including theoretical conceptualizations of the category of sports diplomacy as a sub-category of public diplomacy. Eminent sport historian Kristian Gerner is our reviewer, and he finds a comprehensive analysis of sport diplomacy suitable for readers new to the field as well as for knowledgeable readers who will gain new insights.
