Editors’ Foreword
Me tū ā-uru: Together for a flourishing Aotearoa
This article presents Me Tū ā-Uru, an action plan developed under the New Zealand Biological Heritage National Science Challenge, with a focus on reshaping our relationships, governance and policy to best care for our environment in Aotearoa New Zealand. Inspired by existing action plans and reports, the authors formed a working group comprising Māori researchers and environmental practitioners. The authors discuss the rationale behind creating a…
Making sense of mental health: A qualitative study of student counsellors
More and more people in the UK have poor mental health. Consequently, there is a growing demand for mental health professionals such as counsellors and psychotherapists. The aim of this study was to explore how trainee counsellors make sense of mental health in general and concepts like disorder, diagnosis and treatment in particular. We employ semi-structured interviews to explore what seven UK-based trainee counsellors thought and felt about me…
A case study of alcohol use among male university rugby players
In the UK, research has established that student athletes consume greater quantities of alcohol than their non-athlete peers. The published literature suggests the drinking culture in sport is a social phenomenon. At present, however, the evidence does not tell us what the precise mechanisms involved in the production and reproduction of the drinking culture are. To gain a deeper understanding of these mechanisms a case study methodology was used…
Alcohol use by Athletes: Hierarchy, status, and Reciprocity
Sport is considered a positive, health enhancing lifestyle choice. However, there is considerable evidence that many athletes, particularly those at university, engage in harmful levels of alcohol use. Despite decades of research showing student athletes consume alcohol at high levels, there have been no substantial in-roads into reducing consumption. At present, there is a need to better understand the social, cultural, and personal factors that…

Lost from Sight: Developing Recognition of Māori Law in Aotearoa New Zealand
In Aotearoa New Zealand, the state legal system is increasingly drawing on aspects of Māori law. Recent decisions suggest that the courts are willing to consider Māori law as a source of New Zealand law. This marks a change from earlier approaches which recognised discrete customary practices as customary law. Questions of state recognition of customary law have tended to focus attention on common law tests and so obscure processes of the Indigen…

Care and phronesis in teaching and coaching: Dealing with personality disorder
My aim in this article is to contribute to the discussion about how teachers and coaches come to act in appropriate ways given the complex nature of both practices. I focus on two specific dispositions or qualities from the philosophical literature, namely the virtue of care and the Aristotelian concept of phronesis (or practical wisdom), which have been put forward as possible explanations. I argue that care and phronesis are fundamental qualiti…
Te Mātāpunenga: A compendium of references to the concepts and institutions of Māori customary law
Nation, state and identity in international sport
The question of eligibility for international sporting representation (ISR) has become increasingly contentious. In this paper we argue that the current ISR regulations are outdated and problematic. Sporting governing bodies ought to ignore citizenship as a criterion for ISR, and instead ISR should be based on a normative account of national belonging which would operate primarily on grounds of early socialisation and long-term residency. This ap…
Alcoholism and recovery: A case study of a former professional footballer
What little we know about alcoholism amongst professional footballers comes largely from the media (often tabloid newspapers) and published autobiographies and biographies of high profile stars. The coverage often focuses on deviant behaviour when drunk, such as driving under the influence, marital infidelity, violence, and breaking team rules. There is little or no published research which seeks to understand better what it is like to suffer fro…

Philosophy of sport: International Perspectives
Postmodernism, Queer Theory and Moral Judgment in Sport: Some Critical Reflections
The emergence of postmodern discourse, and more recently queer theory, has had a significant impact on sports feminism. Rejecting grand narratives and universal values, postmodern research attempts to explore the diversity of women's sporting experiences in relation to identity concepts such as sex, gender, sexuality, race, and ethnicity. Such research often highlights important moral issues like intolerance and injustice. Postmodern and queer th…
Teaching virtue through physical education: Some comments and reflections
In this paper I explore a number of important implications for a moral pedagogy through sport and physical education. In order to do so, I first reiterate the credentials of a virtue theoretical approach to moral action and moral agency and reinforce the claim that the philosophy and psychology of virtue are best suited to provide the firm ground upon which pedagogy may be constructed. Having briefly sketched these credentials I identify a number…
I’d rather wear a turban than a rose’: A case study of the ethics of chanting
In this paper we explore the moral status of a chant overheard during the Wales versus England (men’s) rugby union international match in February, 2005. The specific chant, sung by Welsh supporters at their English counterparts, was: ‘I’d rather wear a turban than a rose.’ Specifically, we examine: whether the chant is offensive; whether the chant is racist; the extent to which the chanters can be labelled racists; and what, if any, might be the…
British Spectators’ Perceptions of the Values and Norms in Selected Professional Sports: A Comparative Ethical Survey
In recent years the British media have made much of the apparent decline of standards in British sports. In order to interrogate the veracity of media assumptions regarding the standards of conduct in major British sports, a selection of British sports spectators were interviewed in order to examine: (i) their perceptions of the values and norms of sport; (ii) whether they thought that sporting conduct as currently demonstrated by UK sportsmen an…
Classification of Disabled Athletes: (Dis)Empowering the Paralympic Practice Community
In recent years the International Paralympic Committee (IPC), the institution responsible for the administration, organization, and management of the Paralympic Games, has reshaped the landscape of sport for the disabled. This article argues that the IPC has marginalized the practice community, notably the International Organizations of Sport for the Disabled. By wrestling away control of the classification systems developed by these organization…
Role models’ among elite young male rugby league players in Britain
There is a taken-for-granted acceptance that sports stars have responsibilities as ‘role models’, yet the concept of a ‘role model’ is unclear. The present study addressed the choice of ‘role models’ amongst elite young British rugby league players, and the reasons for their choices. During the summer of 2002 under-13 and under-14 participants of regional training camps ( N = 291) completed a questionnaire survey. Almost all indicated that they h…
Character, virtue and physical education
In this article I argue that until the full complexity of the psychology of moral personality, moral action, and moral learning is recognized, the prospect of physical education, and team sports in particular, being utilized for moral and social development is slim. Similarly a recognition of the multifarious, heterogeneous and context specific account of moral goodness must also be embraced. Once we move away from the dominant reductive account …
Moral Reasoning, Moral Action, and the Moral Atmosphere of Sport
Whether sport builds character is a perennial question. It has been argued separately that sport participation contributes to, detracts from, or is neutral when it comes to fostering certain valued traits and dispositions. In this paper we revisit this debate by examining the work of more recent and empirically based contributions to the debate (Bredemeier et al., 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1994). Rather than propose certain philosophical arguments …
Policy Review Section
In this issue of the Policy Review Section, Ian Scargill of the Department of Geography, University of Oxford, examines the manner in which French public administration is currently responding to the issue of local government fragmentation and has sought to address problems identified in the year long, 1993–94 debate on territorial planning. The article takes as its starting point the incompleteness of the French decentralization reforms of 1982–…
