Now in a fully revised, extended and updated new edition, this is the only book to offer a comparative overview of the development of elite sport systems around the world.

The book examines sport policies and programmes in 20 developed and developing countries that have achieved international sporting success, including the US, the UK, China, Japan, Brazil, Russia, Australia and South Korea, helping the reader to understand the factors behind that success. For each country it sets out the historical and political context in which elite sport has developed, before explaining the country-specific structures of elite sport and the investment that each country has made in elite sport development. The book also considers how countries have used the hosting of mega-events as sport policy tools, and how factors such as geo-politics, states' governance and political ideology, and levels of economic development, all have influence on national sport policy.

Introducing the foundational concepts and principles of elite sport policy and development, and showing how those policies shape global sport, this book is fascinating reading for all students, researchers, policy-makers and practitioners working in sport development, sport policy, sport management, event management, public policy, or political science.
