Over the past decade, an apparent shift in sponsorship spending has seen a growing number of sponsorships in which a state entity has acquired the right of association with a sponsorship property. Sponsorships undertaken by state-owned airlines, energy companies, as well as throug…
China's Football Dream

Pierre Bourdieu's concept of 'symbolic power' is applied to frame policy analysis of China's 2016-2050 National Football Plan and narrative analysis of developments within China's rapidly expanding football sector.

Stakeholder Communication in 140 Characters or Less
