Sport and Democracy in the Ancient and Modern Worlds
Christesen, Paul (Dartmouth College, New Hampshire)
This book explores the relationship between sport and democratization. Drawing on sociological and historical methodologies and case studies of ancient Greece and nineteenth-century Britain, the author provides a framework for understanding how sport affects the level of egalitarianism in the society in which it is played. He concludes that sport can contribute meaningfully to democratization.
