Drawing on the expertise of leading academics and practitioners, this Research Handbook provides comprehensive analysis of the EU's involvement in sport. Structured around the key themes of sport in society, the economic dimension of sport and the organization of sport, this Handbook is the definitive assessment of modern EU sports law and policy.
With its thematic approach, the Research Handbook on EU Sports Law and Policy reflects on themes used by the EU commission in the field of sports law and policy and the role of sports in society. The initial contributions explore the origins and sources of EU sports law and policy to provide context, while the remaining chapters address a wide breadth of sub-themes.
Contributors explore the key cases shaping EU sports law, such as Walrave, Bosman and Meca-Medina, whilst also assessing the key contemporary issues concerning the relationship between sport and the EU. Demonstrating how and why sport can make a difference to the socio-economic wellbeing of the EU, this Research Handbook will be stimulating reading for sports lawyers and administrators as well as students of sports law, sports policy and sports business, and politicians and civil servants in this sector.
