Particularly, they highlight that sport is an increasingly significant subject for global studies, in its dual role as a long-term motor and metric of transnational change (ibid.). 3 Examples include the special issue on Global Sports in Global Networks, edited by Guilianotti and Robertson (2007), and the special issue on Physical Cultural Studies in Sociology of Sport Journal, edited by Silk and Andrews (2011). 4 Examples include Maguire and Nakayama Maguire, Joseph and Nakayama, Masayoshi. 2006.

Lim (1993) categorizes their similarities as such: pursuit of completeness; asceticism; unification of body, heart and spirit; and consciousness of involvement, systematic symbols and control by the structure. 13 Cashmore Cashmore, Ernest. 2000.
