Contemporary sport governance contexts are marked by a trend towards efficiency-based board composition and an increasing use of instruments aimed to (re)shape boards.

Considering this, the aim with this paper is to provide researchers and practitioners with a vocabulary to understand and address is…
Lack of) government policy for indigenous (Sámi) sport: A chain of legitimating and de-legitimating acts
While colonization as policy is formally a historic phenomenon in Norway and elsewhere, many former structures of state organization - including their relationship to sport - remain under post-colonial conditions. This paper is concerned with how the Norwegian government contributes to creating a situation, which includes the Norwegian sports confederation (NIF) but excludes the indigenous people Sámi's sports organisation. Based on existing data…
