Zusammenfassung:	"Australians have invested an enormous amount of emotional and physical capital in their sporting systems and structures. While Australian sport has mostly been dissected from a historical and cultural perspective, there is little detailed analysis of sport's relationship with government." "This book focuses on sport policy, and examines the ways in which government has impacted on the development of Australian sport since 1920. The text identifies the political, economic and cultural context in which the policies were set, and examines critical policy shifts. The book also provides a strong theoretical foundation by discussing first, the underlying principles of policy formulation, and second, the rationale for government intervention in national sport. It includes a number of sport policy case studies." "Providing a blend of theory, history and practice this text provides an essential foundation for sport policy analysis and will be read by students of sport studies and sport management as well as professionals with an interest in sport development."--Back cover.
