Sociology and history of sport is a fast rising subject. There is a growing interest in issues associated with globalization and sport culture across European and North American boundaries. This book fills an important gap. At the forefront of new areas of research in sport studies, it deals with a significant historical period systematically and, above all, internationally. Brought together in a single volume, this work examines the shaping of sport both by the fascist and communist institutions of Europe during the interwar period. It shows how sport was used as an instrument of propaganda and psychological pressure by major political and sporting nations as well as international movements such as the Catholic Church and the International Worker Sport Movement. This volume will be a key reference for researchers and students in sports history, sports sociology, politics and European studies.

The Politicisation of Sport in Modern China: Communist and Champions is the first book in English which examines in chronological order key issues in sport in the People's Republic of China from 1949 to 2012 in the context of Chinese history, politics and society. It explores the complexity of Chinese sport including the sovietisation of Chinese sports policy and practice; the emergence of the ‘two Chinas’ issue; the Cold War, the Cultural Revolution, sports diplomacy and sports militarism; China’s turbulent journey of participation in the Asian Games and in the Olympics; the politics and policy of doping and anti-doping in Chinese sport; and China’s sport in the post-Beijing Olympics era. By analysing the relationships between sport, diplomacy, politics and social transformation in China, the book examines how sport has played an important role in China’s rise in the 20th and 21st centuries, and how China embraced the Olympic Movement and also influenced the world through the Olympic Games. Featuring major events, original documents and interviews with a wide breadth of insiders - from sports policy makers, Olympic medallists and ordinary Chinese - this book, for the first time, provides a comprehensive guide to the history of sport in the People's Republic of China. It is a fascinating book for academic researchers, general readers and students. This book was published as a special issue of the International Journal of the History of Sport.

The impact of Communism on the twentieth century was massive, equal to that of the two world wars. Until the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, historians knew relatively little about the secretive world of communist states and parties. Since then, the opening of state, party, and diplomatic archives of the former Eastern Bloc has released a flood of new documentation. The thirty-five essays in this Handbook, written by an international team of scholars, draw on this new material to offer a global history of communism in the twentieth century. In contrast to many histories that concentrate on the Soviet Union, The Oxford Handbook of the History of Communism is genuinely global in its coverage, paying particular attention to the Chinese Revolution. It is 'global', too, in the sense that the essays seek to integrate history 'from above' and 'from below', to trace the complex mediations between state and society, and to explore the social and cultural as well as the political and economic realities that shaped the lives of citizens fated to live under communist rule. The essays reflect on the similarities and differences between communist states in order to situate them in their socio-political and cultural contexts and to capture their changing nature over time. Where appropriate, they also reflect on how the fortunes of international communism were shaped by the wider economic, political, and cultural forces of the capitalist world. The Handbook provides an informative introduction for those new to the field and a comprehensive overview of the current state of scholarship for those seeking to deepen their understanding.

Although sport historians and sociologists have researched the worldwide economic and political impact of sport, there is a vital part of the history of sport that`s never been completely told. . .until now! >The Story of Worker Sport> is the first book published in English to cover, in-depth, the history of the worker sport movement.Worker sport became prominent during the years between WWI and WWII, fostered by the development of communism and socialism. In >The Story of Worker Sport,> sport and labor history experts from 10 countries discuss the development, fall, and economic effects of worker sport in their own countries. Here are some of the worker countries:--Germany. Dominated by both worker and bourgeouis Turner movements, which believed in creating well-prepared, well-rounded athletes until outlawed by Hitler before WWII.-France. Worker isolation and fragmentation kept worker sport from the success of other economically-advanced countries.-The former Soviet Union. Early experiments in creating a new proletarian sports system and the involvement of the Communist International and Red Sport International organizations affected attitudes of workers to sport and politics between the world wars.-Finland. The creation of and conflict between the Finnish Gymnastics and Sports Federation (SVUL) and the Finnish Worker Sport Federation (TUL) from 1906 until today.-Austria. Movement based on the cultural concept of Austro-Marxism, which is unique in all worker sport. After WWII, the organization was used to integrate workers into existing society rather than to further political aims and it remains today the strongest organization of the Austrian labor movement.-Israel. Hapoel, formed in 1926, is the largest and strongest sport organization in Israel and the only worker sport organization actually controlling its country`s sport despite a continuing debate over the organization`s ideals.Because these and other worker sport movements affected most economically-developed countries, the book also briefly surveys 18 other countries and their experiences with worker sport. It also includes over 100 photos and facsimilies of original documents to help illustrate the worker sport movement`s vital role in the history of sport.

It is the early Cold War. The Soviet Union appears to be in irresistible ascendance and moves to exploit the Olympic Games as a vehicle for promoting international communism. In response, the United States conceives a subtle, far-reaching psychological warfare campaign to blunt the Soviet advance. Drawing on newly declassified materials and archives, Toby C. Rider chronicles how the U.S. government used the Olympics to promote democracy and its own policy aims during the tense early phase of the Cold War. Rider shows how the government, though constrained by traditions against interference in the Games, eluded detection by cooperating with private groups, including secretly funded émigré organizations bent on liberating their home countries from Soviet control. At the same time, the United States utilized Olympic host cities as launching pads for hyping the American economic and political system. Behind the scenes, meanwhile, the government attempted clandestine manipulation of the International Olympic Committee. Rider also details the campaigns that sent propaganda materials around the globe as the United States mobilized culture in general, and sports in particular, to fight the communist threat. Deeply researched and boldly argued, Cold War Games recovers an essential chapter in Olympic and postwar history.
