Analysing China's Drive for Olympic Success in 2008
The eyes of the world will be on Beijing in 2008 as China hosts the summer Olympic Games for the first time. A major criterion of success for China will be the ability of its athletes to win (large numbers of) Olympic medals. Yet, although there is a growing literature that explores the experiences of Western nations in their attempts to construct systems for supporting elite (Olympic) athlete development, we have very little in-depth information…

Comparative Elite Sport Development
Olympic glory or grassroots development
This article traces and evaluates the wider historical and sociopolitical context for sport policy priorities, in general, from 1960 to 2006 in Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom (UK) but with a specific focus on identifying and analysing policy developments at the elite (Olympic) levels of sport.

The changing status of school sport and physical education
This paper examines the changing political salience of school sport and physical education (PE) over the last 15 years. A brief survey of the recent history of school sport and PE based on an analysis of a range of policy documents published by professional bodies and government departments and agencies is followed by a discussion of two theoretical frameworks for explaining policy change, namely the advocacy coalition framework and multiple stre…
Governmentality, Modernization, and the “Disciplining” of National Sporting Organizations
This article investigates the nature of, and policy outcomes from, the relationship between federal/central government departments and agencies and the national sporting organizations (NSOs) for athletics in Australia and the United Kingdom. We draw on neo-Foucauldian writings on “governmentality” to problematize governmental activities directed at shaping, channeling, and guiding the conduct of NSOs. We conclude that, although effective “respons…

Power, Policy, and Political Priorities
This article analyzes government and quasigovernmental agencies’ use of “planning dictates” in relationships with national sporting organizations (NSOs) in Canada and national governing bodies (NGBs) of sport in the United Kingdom (UK). Attention is drawn to the asymmetries of power contouring elite sport policy developments in both countries that, though unobservable in an empirical sense, nonetheless warrant investigation. The analysis draws on…
Changing policy priorities for sport in England
This paper reviews the emergence of ‘sport’ as a sector of public policy interest from the 1960s to 2002. Central to the paper is the manifestation of ‘elite sport development’ as a key policy concern from the mid‐1990s onwards. While the emergence of elite sport policy objectives is the focus, the increased activity around sport at regional and sub‐regional levels in England also requires attention. The paper's theoretical argument is that, in l…

The national elite sport development systems discussed in the West are: Europe (UK, France and Spain), North America (Canada, United States) and Australia.
