The Palgrave Handbook on the Economics of Manipulation in Sport
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-031-63580-9 (ISBN)
This updated and expanded new edition explores how sport is manipulated for economic and political gain. Manipulation in sport takes many forms and carefully selected chapters detail the broad variety of ways this can take place. The different types of manipulation in sport are outlined, including doping, match-fixing, and breaking Financial Fair Play, to provide a foundation to the topic. The role of legal interventions, in particular the Court of Arbitration for Sport, is discussed, alongside the governance of sports organisations and the corruption of sporting organisations, to highlight how sport can be exploited by tainted political regimes. New chapters looking at whistleblowing, sportwashing, e-sports, and horseracing broaden the scope of the book and explore recent debates.
This book aims to examine manipulation in sport through the lens of economics, bringing light to the various ways benefits can be gained from rule and regulation breaches. It will be relevant to students and researchers interested in sports economics and sport governance.Markus Breuer is Professor at SRH University Heidelberg.
David Forrest is Professor at the University of Liverpool.
