At present the HND in Event and Hospitality management is not running but when it does we may adopt this publication
Comprehensive text detailing extensive review of football history and the impact of commercialisation and globalisation on the sport
This is an excellent text.
An excellent introduction to the subject of globalisation in a football context. The book deals separately with the historical, cultural, political, economic and social aspects of the global game whilst retaining an understanding of the necessary interconnectedness of these arenas. An enjoyable read.
The book is ideal for a couple of modules delivered as part of the module Social Issues in Sport. The consumer developments in sport, particularly in football in the last 20 years is comprehensively explored in the text.
We might suggest this book for those especially interested in the two topics it covers: globalization and/or football
