Resumo
A number of changes have occurred recently in the administration of fitness and amateur sport in Canada. The purpose of this paper is to assess the extent to which the federal government has adopted a neo-corporatist political approach to manage the number of interest groups in both fitness and amateur sport. Our analysis demonstrates that indeed several steps have been taken to ensure the coordination of interest groups in proposed changes to be made to the delivery of fitness and amateur sport. These steps well reflect neo-corporatist trends as they meet the three essential criteria for this political form. Through our assessment of a number of recent government and para-government documents as well as particular changes occurring within government, we explain how neo-corporatism has replaced pluralism in the domain of sport and fitness in Canada.
