Henry","doi":"10.15057/18054","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.15057/18054","url":null,"abstract":"This paper addresses organisational aspects of European sports policy primarily at the nation-state level, but also in respect of the European Union. In particular it seeks to identify and evaluate the nature and structure of policy systems and the changes such systems might be undergoing within the EU. Although there has been a relatively recent growth in comparative analysis of elite policy systems (Bosscher Veerle De, Bingham Jerry, & Simon, 2007; Green & Houlihan, 2005; Houlihan, Bergsgard, Mangset, Nødland, & Rommetvedt, 2007), more general reviews of sport policy have tended to be limited to collections of single nation studies (Chalip, Johnson, & Stachura, 1996) or to address transnational and global policy influences (Henry & Institute of Sport and Leisure Policy, 2007). While material with a European focus does exist, this has related to leisure policy rather than sport (Bramham, Henry, Mommaas, & van der Poel, 1993) or to the European Union per se (Henry, 2008) rather than to European Member Statesʼ sports policies. One of the few sources to address sports policy, from mass to elite, and with a distinctively comparative approach and a focus on the European Union is the report of Jean Camy and his colleagues in the VOCASPORT report (VOCASPORT Research Group, 2004) commissioned by the Sports Unit of the European Commission. In a concise 10 page section of the report the authors seek to outline a typology of sports policy systems in the EU. This chapter aims to extend the VOCASPORT analysis by : exploring the nature of the overall policy goals promoted by, or consistent with, each of the ideal type configurations; evaluating the nature and emphasis of the philosophy of service delivery in each configuration; identifying the strengths and weaknesses of each of the four configurations; and explaining the tensions within national systems that are reflected in shifts from one configuration towards another. The concluding section of the chapter will seek to outline the relationship between the approach to sports policy implicit in the European Commissionʼs White paper on Sport (European Commission, 2007) and the approaches evident in the VOCASPORT typology.","PeriodicalId":265291,"journal":{"name":"Hitotsubashi journal of arts and sciences","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116893468","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bairner","doi":"10.15057/16446","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.15057/16446","url":null,"abstract":"At the most basic level of analysis, it is easy to see the extent to which sport, arguably more than any other form of social activity in the modern world, facilitates flag waving and the playing of national anthems, both formally at moments such as medal ceremonies and informally through the activities of fans. Indeed there are many political nationalists who fear that by acting as such a visible medium for overt displays of national sentiment, sport can actually blunt the edge of serious political debate. No matter how one views the grotesque caricatures of national modes of behavior and dress that so often provide the colorful backdrop to major sporting events, one certainly cannot escape the fact that nationalism, in some form or another, and sport are closely linked. It is important to appreciate, however, that the precise nature of their relationship varies dramatically from one political setting to another and that, as a consequence, it is vital that we are alert to a range of different conceptual issues. For example, like the United Nations, sportʼs global governing bodies, such as the International Olympic Committee or the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), consist almost exclusively of representatives not of nations but rather of sovereign nation states. It is also worth noting that pioneering figures in the organization of international sport, such as Baron Pierre de Coubertin who established the modern Olympics in 1896, commonly revealed a commitment to both internationalism and the interests of their own nation states. Thus, whilst de Coubertin could write enthusiastically about a sporting event that would bring together young (male) athletes from across the globe, he was also specifically concerned with the physical well-being of young French men in the wake of a demoralizing defeat in the Franco-German War. Whilst in most cases, these nation states that constitute international sporting bodies are coterminous with nations, the fact remains that numerous nations throughout the world, as well as other forms of collective belonging, are stateless and are consequently denied representation in international sporting competition just as they are in the corridors of global political power. When considering the relationship between sports and nationalism, therefore, it is important to think in terms both of nation states and of nations. This also provides the means whereby sportʼs connection with nationality and also with national identity can be separately explored. It is also useful to bear in mind that sport often acts as a window through which we are able to Hitotsubashi Journal of Arts and Sciences 49 (2008), pp.43-53.

{"title":"DETECTION AND EDUCATION IN ANTI-DOPING POLICY : A REVIEW OF CURRENT ISSUES AND AN ASSESSMENT OF FUTURE PROSPECTS","authors":"B. Houlihan","doi":"10.15057/16448","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.15057/16448","url":null,"abstract":"In the last ten years there have been dramatic changes in efforts to tackle the problem of doping in sport. In 1999 the World Anti-Doping Agency was established and five years later in 2004 the World Anti-Doping Code was approved with the aim of harmonizing anti-doping policy and practice across the globe. Since then the Code has been revised and UNESCO has drafted an Anti-Doping Convention which will legally commit governments to support WADA and implement the Code. These considerable achievements reflect not only the seriousness of the problem of doping in elite sport, but also the increasing importance of elite sport, especially Olympic sport, and elite sporting success to governments and to business. Elite sport has been important as a diplomatic resource in relation to specific issues such as apartheid in South Africa and the also the Cold War rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union, but it has also become increasingly important for a wide range of governments in raising the profile of a country (through hosting major sports events or having successful athletes) and in developing and maintaining national pride. Businesses have also come to appreciate the value of elite sport ̶ as a commodity to be sold and as a vehicle for the marketing of non-sport goods and services. While there are some who argue either that doping is impossible to eliminate or that doping is no different from other forms of scientific advantage and that anti-doping efforts should be abandoned the balance of opinion among governments and international sports organizations is that doping is contrary to the ethos of sport, undermines its diplomatic value and reduces its profit potential for business. Consequently, anti-doping organizations and policy operates within a complex and highly political environment where expectations for success are high. The aim of this paper is to provide an assessment of the state of current anti-doping policy and to identify and review a number of the most significant issues that currently face policy-makers. The paper begins with a brief overview of the context from which WADA emerged in the late 1990s and an analysis of how perceptions of the problem of doping have altered. This is followed by an assessment of the current global policy regime or infrastructure for anti-doping policy. The paper then moves on to consider the following issues:","PeriodicalId":265291,"journal":{"name":"Hitotsubashi journal of arts and sciences","volume":"35 10","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114033812","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
