Eric Henry Liddell 100 Years on from 1924
At the former Stade Olympique de Colombes in Paris on March 22, 2024 a plaque was unveiled as a tribute to Eric Henry Liddell. The stadium was the main stadium for the 1924 Summer Olympic Games in which the Chinese born athlete, of Scottish parentage, running for Great Britain won Olympic Gold in the 400 metres in a world record time of 47.6 s. This was not the only medal that the athlete won at these Olympic Games, but it was perhaps the most si…
The External and Internal Logic of China’s Football Development as Cultural Relations
The paper aims to evidence and reflect upon China’s use of football during the New Era (since 2012). Football reform in China has attracted both national and international attention since the announcement of The General Plan of Chinese Football Reform and Development in 2015. Among the state’s stated ambitions has been the building of one of the world’s largest domestic sport economies and becoming a “major footballing nation. The latter being ex…
Sport, Austerity or Choice in Scotland: An Analysis of Direct Government Expenditure on Sport
Sport in Scotland has been a devolved area of activity since 1999. This paper seeks to examine claims that direct government expenditure on Scottish sport has been influenced by United Kingdom (UK) government austerity measures. Direct Scottish Government expenditure on sport is allocated to the Scottish national sports agency, sportscotland. An analysis of expenditure between 2008 to 2018 is used as a basis for considering whether trends in Scot…
Promoting Scotland, Diplomacy and Influence through Sport
Sport is being used by a number of countries to raise profile, and create influence. Sports diplomacy has an increasing presence in terms of theory, practice and evidence within international relations. Sports diplomacy may occur both within sport and through sport. The channels through which this is facilitated are complex. Scotland has much to learn from places such as Australia that have put in place a dedicated four-year sports diplomacy stra…
Routledge Handbook of Sport and Politics
A number of issues have ensured the rise in prominence of the term “governance” in relation to sport in recent years. First, a series of scandals have taken place associated with the governance of sporting structures commonly referred to as management corruption (e.g. FIFA). Second, a series of problems associated with competition in sport, commonly referred to as competition corruption (e.g. doping in sport), has occurred. Third, governments glo…
Omnivorousness in sport: The importance of social capital and networks
There has been for some time a significant and growing body of research around the relationship between sport and social capital. Similarly, within sociology there has been a corpus of work that has acknowledged the emergence of the omnivore-univore relationship. Surprisingly, relatively few studies examining sport and social capital have taken the omnivore-univore framework as a basis for understanding the relationship between sport and social c…
Sport, Culture and Society: An Introduction
It is impossible to fully understand contemporary society and culture without acknowledging the place of sport. Sport is part of our social and cultural fabric, possessing a social and commercial power that makes it a potent force in the world, for good and for bad. Sport has helped to start wars and promote international reconciliation, while every government around the world commits public resources to sport because of its perceived benefits. F…
Running as a resource of hope? Voices from Eldoret
There is a continuing debate about East African running success. Few studies have considered wealth as a key motivation behind wanting to run. This article focuses upon the motivations of Kenyan women who choose to participate in professional running and the impact on them, their families and wider communities. Much of the fieldwork for this study took place in and around the town of Eldoret. It encourages researchers interested in sport in Afric…
Identity, Recognition or Redistribution through Sport
Identity, Recognition or Redistribution through Sport? Identity has long since been a key concept within historical, sociological and philosophical enquires into sport. This article asserts that identity politics in sport is not enough and alternative forms of thinking about identity need to challenge the conventional wisdom that identity for identity sake is sufficient. By introducing the notions recognition and re-distribution this research att…
Sport, Social Change and the Public Intellectual
This article argues that the role of the public intellectual in sport is desperately needed. The research for the article draws upon key interviews and newspaper reports. The article examines three questions: i) What is the role of the public intellectual in sport? ii) Do we wish to encourage the role of the public intellectual in sport? iii) How does one balance the objective of challenging unseen silences in sport with its potential transformat…

Internationalism and Sport in the Making of Nations
It has been suggested that nationalism is becoming obsolete as a result of globalization and that the role of sports in the making of nations is weakening. Global sport has presented fundamental challenges to local and national sport, but it has also created the opportunity for sport to be more international. The role of sport in terms of reconciliation is rarely mentioned within contemporary discussions of global sport, power, and culture; the s…
Communitarianism, Sport and Social Capital: `Neighbourly Insights into Scottish Sport
The contribution that sport can make to community has been a contemporary theme within both sociological and political thinking about sport. This paper examines assumptions that are often associated with communitarianism as a basis for thinking about aspects of sport in Scotland. It is argued that it is unrealistic to expect sport to sustain a notion of social capital or civic engagement or communitarianism without addressing the issue of ownersh…

The Cultural Politics of Hunting: Sporting Estates and Recreational Land Use in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland
Sporting estates are a form of private hunting reserve covering extensive areas of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland and have been the focus of debate regarding their legitimacy from moral, political, economic and social perspectives ever since their establishment in the nineteenth century. In recent years, a growing debate about sustainable land use, access to the countryside, ‘blood sports’ and land reform has led to sporting estates being …
The Changing Face of Football: Racism, Identity and Multiculture in the English Game
Scottish sport, nationalist politics and culture
First paragraph: By the year 2000 Scotland will have a new Parliament, the first in Scotland since 1707. This Parliament will not make Scotland a homogeneous entity. Within months of the countrywide endorsement in September 1997 of a devolved Parliament, divisions were already apparent, as Scotland's two major cities, Edinburgh and Glasgow, were involved in a public debate over which city should be the temporary home of the Parliament. Scotland h…
Sport, Nationalism and the Scottish Parliament
Scottish Affairs, Sporting Estates and the Aristocracy
The Highland Sporting Estate looms large in the analysis of both 19th and 20th century debates about landownership (Cameron 1991; Grant 1989; Hunter 1974, 1976, 1995; Lister-Kaye 1994; Smout 1993). The idea of the sporting estate in social and economic terms as a place in which private indulgence continues to take precedence over social and economic development in certain areas is a key reason why such an issue continues to stir the public consci…
Race relations, sociology of sport and the new politics of race and racism
This paper provides a review of some of the main currents of sociological thought which have informed a body of research in the area of sport and racism. It considers some of the main popular arguments about sport in discussions of race relations, black identity, and black feminism and argues against the notion of any one body of thought being viewed as a form of universalism. The examples that people use may change but the underlying processes a…

Highland Gatherings, Balmorality, and the Glamour of Backwardness
The argument presented here is that cultural studies interventions on sport in British social development are parochial and have grown out of a certain reading of Gramsci’s work. The work of Tom Naim provides the basis for (a) a substantive discussion on the relationship between the Scottish Highland Gatherings, the monarchy, and Highland culture during the Victorian period, and (b) developing a nationalist/socialist reading of Gramsci and conseq…
Dependency, cultural identity and sporting landlords: A Scottish case‐study
Highland Gatherings, Sport, and Social Class
This paper takes as its central focus the development of the Scottish Highland Gatherings. Questioned is the extent to which the transformation and reproduction of this Highland tradition has paralleled broader transformations within the Highland social formation. Such an analysis certainly encompasses some of the most basic questions that might be asked about Scottish cultural identity and social structure
