Debates around the 'sport for development and peace' (SDP) movement have entered a new phase, moving on from simple questions surrounding the utility of sport as a tool of international development. This book argues that critical research and new perspectives are necessary to balance the local aspects and global influences of sport and to better understand the power relations embedded in SDP on a transnational scale. It covers a wider agenda than previous books on SDP, exploring issues such as global health beyond HIV/AIDS, the role of new media, environmental concerns, child protection, and gender-based violence.
