  • Social research with women in Saudi Arabia

    Open Access•Nouf Bamuhair, R Giulianotti et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of Social…•2026

    This article examines the opportunities and challenges of conducting qualitative research in Saudi Arabia through the lens of a Saudi women researcher educated abroad. Drawing on interviews with Saudi women from different generational and socioeconomic backgrounds in Jeddah and Riyadh, it reflects on how the researcher’s positionality – shaped by insider/outsider dynamics – influenced research access, rapport, and data interpretation. The study e…

  • ‘Who can represent the city?’ Football fandom, derby rivalry and civic identity in Shanghai

    Open Access•Congcong Qi, R Giulianotti et al.•ARTICLE•International Review for the…•2026

    Little research has examined how football rivalries shape civic identity in Asian megacities characterised by rapid urbanisation and high internal mobility. Drawing on 30 semi-structured interviews and online non-participant observation, this study examines how the football fans of Shanghai Shenhua F.C. and Shanghai Port F.C. shape and reflect civic identity in Shanghai through their derby rivalry. The findings reveal that Shenhua fans assert loc…

    This study investigates the alignment between Saudi Arabia's Sports for All (SFA) policy and women's experiences in sports participation. The study employs Bacchi's ‘What Is the Problem Represented to Be?’ (WPR) framework as its theoretical framework. This framework not only enables a policy critique but also provides a lens to uncover unexamined narratives influencing women's experiences in sports. Interviews were conducted with women from diver…

  • Sport and Power

    Open Access•Paul Michael Brannagan, R Giulianotti et al.•ARTICLE•Leisure Studies•2025•Cited by: 1•References: 48

    This paper makes an original and significant contribution to knowledge by rethinking the role of power in sport and leisure studies. Notably, the paper provides much needed theoretical clarity on the concept of ‘smart power’, and in doing so, then advances the first smart power analysis of sport and leisure. Furthermore, the paper implements a systematic framework for analysing power in sport and leisure, one that locates how hard, soft and smart…

  • Career consolidation or reformulation? A careership theory approach to football coaches’ transnational migration and career development

    Open Access•Ce Guo, R Giulianotti et al.•ARTICLE•Sport Education and Society•2023•Cited by: 2•References: 10

    This article examines the career development of international football coaches in the context of their transnational migration. Previous research has mainly relied on the normative stages models to explain coaching career development, which has limitations in capturing the complexity and diversity of coach career trajectories, particularly in terms of unique individual experiences and contextual impacts on their career development. Drawing upon t…

  • Unlocking the whole of soft power

    Open Access•Paul Michael Brannagan, R Giulianotti•ARTICLE•Journal of Political Power•2023•Cited by: 6•References: 1

    Soft power is one of most applied, yet nebulous, concepts in social science. In this paper, we show that it is not soft power per se that is of issue here, but rather the Newtonian parameters through which the concept has been described. In making an original and significant contribution, we introduce a radical break from conventional attempts to explain soft power by drawing on quantum international relations. Through this, we show that Newtonia…

    Association football, also known as soccer, is the world's most popular team sport, and has been the subject of substantial sociological interest across the globe. This entry examines six dimensions of football, particularly at elite and professional levels, that have attracted particular sociological interest: identity, belonging, and differentiation; governance and politics; the cultural politics of race, gender, sexuality, and disability; comm…

  • New horizons in the sociology of sport

    The relevance of a sociological view on the problems of society has never been as important as it is today. To quote the editors of the journal Nature in their editorial, Time for the Social Sciences, from 2015: if you want science to deliver for society, you need to support a capacity to understand that society. In other words, the technological and scientific disciplines cannot simply transfer their findings into everyday life without knowing h…

  • Stakeholder views of current laws surrounding alcohol at UK football matches

    Open Access•Jack G Martin, R Giulianotti et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of Drug…•2022

    Our data suggests an evidence-based review of current laws regarding alcohol and football may be appropriate. However, any discussion regarding changes to the law regarding alcohol at football stadia, including potential pilot schemes, should be evaluated and monitored in terms of both financial impact and the impact on public health and safety

    Availability of alcohol at football matches in the UK is much debated and subject to multiple restrictions, yet there is little understanding of supporters' attitudes. A cross-sectional survey of football supporters in Scotland and England (n = 1750) was conducted April-June 2019. Most supporters viewed drinking at matches as acceptable (74.4%) and thought alcohol should be available at grounds (76.0%); around two-fifths thought most supporters c…

    In this paper, we seek to advance understandings of the contemporary global ‘sport for development and peace’ (SDP) sector, with respect to volunteers and volunteering in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Volunteers play a critical role in organizing and delivering SDP social intervention programmes across the world; most SDP volunteer work is undertaken by local young people who are often presented as a current peer or future community l…

    The global "sport for development and peace" (SDP) sector uses sport as a field of social activity to promote diverse types of non-sport social development. In this short perspective article, I critically examine and advocate the engagement of SDP with environmental issues. I argue for the adoption of a "socio-ecological" approach, to enable a greening of SDP that promotes both environmental and social justice. To that end, the article is organiz…

    Sport for Development and Peace (SDP) has grown into a huge global field of sport-related activity and intervention and is a heavily researched subject in the social scientific study of sport. In this article, we advance the case for a new research agenda in SDP, in part to contribute more fully to sustainable development through substantial societal change. We argue that SDP research should engage with wider literatures and theories, notably on …

    World football (or soccer) has undergone an intensive hypercommodification over the past decade or so. This article examines the impact of this process on forms of spectator identification with top professional football clubs. Drawing upon previous analyses by Taylor and Critcher (on football) and the theories of Bryan Turner (on body culture), the article advances four ideal types of spectator identity: supporters, followers, fans, and flâneurs.…

  • The globalization of football

    Sport, in particular football, constitutes one of the most dynamic, sociologically illuminating domains of globalization. This paper examines the globalization of football with particular reference to Robertson's theorizations of global processes. We examine football's cultural globalization through the concept of 'glocalization', which highlights the interdependence of local and global processes within the game's identities and institutions.

    The commodification of football has been the subject of substantial sociological debate but has received relatively limited scrutiny in terms of sustained comparative empirical research. This article draws heavily on interviews with supporter groups, journalists, and officials in Scottish football to examine a range of issues relating to fan experiences and understandings of football's commodification. The author examines how fans respond to thei…

  • Glocalization, Globalization and Migration

    Open Access•R Giulianotti, Roland Robertson•ARTICLE•International Sociology•2006•Cited by: 53•References: 14

    The concept of glocalization is used to analyse the ways in which social actors construct meanings, identities and institutional forms within the sociological context of globalization, conceived in multidimensional terms. This article seeks to advance the sociological grasp of glocalization processes through a field-work-rooted study of particular migrant, culturally defined social groups: North American-based supporters of the Scottish football …

  • Sport, peacemaking and conflict resolution

    R Giulianotti•ARTICLE•Ethnic and Racial Studies•2011•Cited by: 46•References: 20

    n In recent years, a wide variety of organizations (notably the UN and nongovernmental ones) have used sport as an interventionist tool to nurture peacemaking across divided communities. This paper examines and theorizes these peacemaking initiatives across the expanding `sport, development and peace? (SDP) sector. I begin by locating SDP projects within their historical contexts, and as significant elements within the emerging `global civil soci…

We illustrate and elaborate this typology through substantive reference to specific migrant cultures, namely the North American…

    There are four areas in which soft power is open to critical scrutiny. First, research has centred on large and/or developed nations, notably in North America, Europe, east Asia and the BRICs. Second, scholars have called for greater clarity of the concept, noting that it lacks clear explanation of how instances of attraction equate to various power outcomes. Third, others suggest Joseph Nye developed an Americanized-centric understanding of soft…

  • Supporters, Followers, Fans, and Flaneurs

    Open Access•R Giulianotti•ARTICLE•Journal of Sport and Social Issues•2002•Cited by: 298•References: 8

    World football (or soccer) has undergone an intensive hypercommodification over the past decade or so. This article examines the impact of this process on forms of spectator identification with top professional football clubs. Drawing upon previous analyses by Taylor and Critcher (on football) and the theories of Bryan Turner (on body culture), the article advances four ideal types of spectator identity: supporters, followers, fans, and flâneurs.…

  • Introduction

    Open Access•R Giulianotti•CHAPTER•Sport and Modern Social Theorists•2004

    In 1997 Alan Ingham and Peter Donnelly published a long and challenging article detailing the history of the sociology of sport in North America. In conclusion, they posed the twin questions: ‘Is any position hegemonic in our current stage of development?’ and ‘Should any position be hegemonic in the future?’ While answering firmly in the negative on both counts, Ingham and Donnelly lamented the lack of constructive dialogue within sport sociolog…

  • The Fate of Hyperreality

    Open Access•R Giulianotti•CHAPTER•Sport and Modern Social Theorists•2004

    Jean Baudrillard has been probably the most provocative and controversial social theorist of the last twenty years. His theories of the masses, fatal strategies, symbolic exchange and hyperreality have courted widespread critical comment across the social sciences. More general public controversy has surrounded his sensationalist claims that the Gulf War ‘did not happen’ and that women should be offered up as sacrifices in the American desert (19…

By that stage, already over 80 years old, Elias had given an extraordinary lifetime's service to the discipline of sociology.KeywordsGame ModelRational Choice TheorySociological ImaginationCivilize ProcessSocial FigurationThese keywords were added by machine an…

  • The globalization of football

    Open Access•R Giulianotti, Roland Robertson•ARTICLE•British Journal of Sociology•2004•Cited by: 135•References: 19

    Sport, in particular football, constitutes one of the most dynamic, sociologically illuminating domains of globalization. This paper examines the globalization of football with particular reference to Robertson's theorizations of global processes. We examine football's cultural globalization through the concept of 'glocalization', which highlights the interdependence of local and global processes within the game's identities and institutions. We …

  • The Sociability of Sport

    Georg Simmel is one of sociology's most influential early figures, although arguably his work has been under-utilized in many scholarly fields, including sport studies. Some of Simmel's most important theoretical and substantive arguments are deployed to develop a sociological analysis of a specific sports subculture: the 'Tartan Army' of supporters that travels to Scotland football matches. Of particular interest are Simmel's formal sociological…

  • Towards a Critical Anthropology of Voice

    Open Access•R Giulianotti•ARTICLE•Critique of Anthropology•2005•Cited by: 3•References: 12

    While it features regularly in anthropological literature, the concept of voice is rarely elaborated by way of definition or substantive application. In this article I develop a critical anthropological theorization of voice with reference to the ideas of Hymes, Bernstein, Bourdieu, Foucault and Bakhtin. I extend these conceptual claims substantively, by focusing on the relationship of cultural politics, phatic communion and globalization process…

  • Sport Spectators and the Social Consequences of Commodification

    Open Access•R Giulianotti•ARTICLE•Journal of Sport and Social Issues•2005•Cited by: 59•References: 3

    The commodification of football has been the subject of substantial sociological debate but has received relatively limited scrutiny in terms of sustained comparative empirical research. This article draws heavily on interviews with supporter groups, journalists, and officials in Scottish football to examine a range of issues relating to fan experiences and understandings of football's commodification. The author examines how fans respond to thei…

  • Ethics, Money and Sport

    Adrian Walsh, R Giulianotti•BOOK•Ethics, Money and Sport•2006

    Written from the contrasting yet complementary perspectives of sociology and philosophy, this book explores the far-reaching ethical consequences of the runaway commodification of sport, focusing on those instances where commodification gives rise to morally undesirable consequences. The authors consider three main areas of concern for participators and observers alike: the corrosion of the core meanings and values of sport, the increasing elitis…
