""Presents a comparative analysis of sport policy-making and the motives for investment in sports by governments in five countries: Australia, Canada, Ireland, the UK, and the US. Issues raised include the internationalization of sport policy-making, the administrative framework for sport, how policy-making has addressed the problem of drug abuse by athletes, and the increasingly marginal role of governing bodies in shaping domestic sports policy and the growing dominance of government, international federations, and commerce. For those studying sport in general, politics, policy-making, and leisure. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.""
