Résumé
Despite the importance of sport as a social, economic and political institution, research into sport and social capital has not been extensive.

It explores the ways in which sport contributes to the creation, development, maintenance and, in some cases, diminution of social capital.
Written by an internationally renowned author team who are leading figures in this area of study, this engaging and far-reaching text brings leading research from around the world into one comprehensively edited volume. Themes covered in the book include: education, gender, policy, community, youth sport, diversity and many more. It is essential reading for sport management, sport development and sport sociology students around the globe and offers fascinating and invaluable insight to interested stakeholders from industry, community and government.

"The chapters in this collection provide a sound contribution to
the burgeoning literature that surrounds sport and social capital. The many case studies
provide ample sources of evidence for further discussion and analysis of the role sport has or
can have in forming social capital in all its guises."
