The Governance of Sport in Australia: Centralization, Politics and Public Diplomacy, 1860–2000
For Australia and most of its people, international sporting contests have long been a marker of the nation’s identity, psyche and international standing.

As a consequence, the need for strong, effective and appropriate governance of all sport, particularly at the elite level has become of critical importance. This…
The Integration of Three Types of Lands: A New Approach to the Provision of Public Sport and Recreation Areas in China
With China’s economic and social development, people have changed their lifestyles and attitudes to health and now they have an increased awareness of the value of participating in physical activity. The imbalance between the strong demand for sports participation and the inadequate number of sports fields on a per capita basis severely restricts the level of fitness activity nationally. However, compared with developed countries, China is rich i…

Guangzhou 2010: Singapore at a Global Crossroads
This essay is an analysis of the reality of Singapore's Asian Games' aspirations and achievements and the responses to the challenges it faced in Guangzhou in 2010. How did ‘Team Singapore’ respond to the challenges that they met at what represented a crossroad in their sporting history at which they met the vehicle carrying China's sporting and soft power products.

Fan Hong (2000) contends that while globalisation has provided the basis for the change and progress of Asia, its impact on Asian sport is contentious, particularly regarding the integrity of Asian culture. Using Elias's notion of sportisation, thisarticle examines the impact of Asia upon the development of sport. In this analysis the development of sport in Asia is charted through the three fundamental phases of globalisation: imperialism, natio…

Seven years later Queensland had …

This article traces and examines the development of sport in Singapore through its initial incipient phase of development (1819–1860s) and on into its colonisation (1860s–1900).The discussion focuses on three main levels of diffusion: New Year's Day Sports, clubs and schools. It seeks to illuminate and discuss the immanent dynamics in the initial phases of sportisation during the colonial period and reflects upon their impact upon the development…
Tumultuous Text: The Imagining of Australia Through Literature, Sport and Nationalism from Colonies to the Federation
Australia is variously characterised as: an ‘unlikely paradise of sport’, a land of ‘muddied clods’ and the home of ‘Bronzed Aussie Gods’. From 1870 to 1901 Australian writers, particularly those writing in The Bulletin, contributed to the creation of a nationalist tradition and the development of a national persona. The writing of ‘visiting’ writers, such as Nat Gould and Mark Twain, characterised the image of the emerging nation through the dep…
Sport on the Western Pacific Rim: The Present and the Future
[Extract] It has been stated that a feature of the modernisation of sport was that the establishment of continental confederations, which created a middle-tier of control between the nation and worldwide sporting bodies (FIFA), would eventually dilute the essence and centrality of nation-states in the context of sport. This is now fact. A pellucid analysis of the racial, cultural and geopolitical implications of the Australian Football Associatio…
Women's Football in the People's Republic of China: Retrospect and Prospect

This article reflects upon the development of women’s football in the PRC from the 1970s to the present as it travelled a winding road that took it to the heights of internatio…
Promoting perseverance and challenge in physical education: The missing ingredient for improved games teaching
This paper explores critical notions about how improved understandings of students learning experiences within practical learning environments could sensitise teachers to appreciate the complex influences more that affect how levels of challenge and perseverance are constructed by students. The authors, in furthering their critique, build on the model of constructivism developed by Ollis and Sproule. This model attempted in embryonic terms to rec…
Sport in Syonan (Singapore) 1942–1945: Centralisation and Nipponisation
When Singapore surrendered to the Japanese, it was ironic that they promoted the British culture of sport. Sport became centralised and the political priority placed on sport by the Japanese government provided it with greater resources to develop than other cultural institutions. The direction and form of its development became more and more dictated by the state. Political function became the predetermining social force compared with such funct…
The ‘East Asian’ Olympic Games: What of sustainable legacies
Sport has proven to be an unstoppable globalising force. The Olympic Movement has come to epitomise modernisation and the extent to which Western sport has become globalised. The philosophy of Olympism, once resting upon just two pillars of Excellence in Sport and Culture has since 1994 been underpinned by a third, the Environment. All of the Olympic Games host cities now have to support a responsible concern for environmental issues and with tha…
The Geopolitical Balance of the Asia-Pacific Region Post-Beijing 2008: An Australian Perspective
What will be the nature of the relationships of the major Asia-Pacific Rim powers, including Japan, the United States and Australia with China following Beijing 2008? To what extent was China successful by means of Beijing 2008 in actually selling ‘brand China’ to the rest of the world, and particularly to its neighbours in the Asia-Pacific region? Were they able to achieve the soft power objective of changing the perception of how other nations …
How Green Will My (Lea) Valley Be? Olympic Aspirations: Rhetoric or Reality
Much debate surrounds the nature and reality of the legacy left to host cities after they hold an Olympic or a Winter Olympic Games. We argue and provide evidence that the debate is more about sustainability. The sustainability of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) as an organization and of the games that deliver the aspirations and goals of the Olympic movement are central issues in this debate. The IOC identifies its aspirations and goal…
Rugby Union Football in the Land of the Wallabies, 1874–1949: Same game, different ethos
Football as a generic game-form was a feature of the sporting culture of the settlers of Australia. As the various codes emerged in Britain they were ‘exported’ to the colonies throughout the Empire. In Australia this cultural imposition was not complete for the British games faced significant cultural resistance, most notably from Australian Rules football. The first formal club was founded circa 1865 and by the time a governing body was formed …
Sport as Public Diplomacy and Public Disquiet: Australia's Ambivalent Embrace of the Beijing Olympics
The Beijing Olympics in 2008 will showcase China's increasingly open economy and demonstrate the extent of its readiness to be recognised in the same league as developed nations. The world economy is now dependent on China's participation and its engagement in the Asia-Pacific is critical. Australia is a major player in enabling China to host a successful Olympics and this support is intended to strengthen existing political and economic partners…
Football, identity, place: The emergence of Rugby football in Brisbane

The struggle over the choice of football code illustrates how sport was a feature of contested …
