The Politics of Sports Development
This text traces the evolution of sports development in the UK in the context of broader shifts in sport and social policy.

In-depth semistructured interviews were conducted with 34 young men and 26 young women, ages 13–23 (only 3 were older than 18), from predominantly working-class families residing in an industrial area southeast of London. Interviews focused on descriptions of sport experiences, how young people defined and interpreted those experiences, how this i…

It was found that despite the ideological commitment to gender e…

Analysis of trends since 1960 revealed little change in the percentage of women occupying positions of power. Women's power has been effectively lessened si…
