Sport and Migration Book
Daily, many athletes travel to different countries to get better salaries and work conditions. This book attempts to bridge the gap between the "local" cultures of those athletes are educated and trained, and the adaptation process in a different and "global" culture. The exportation of bones and muscles; the commodification of those athletes; the necessary nets with managements and clubs; media discourses; the fans acceptation are possible topics to write.
This book aims to discuss about sport and migration in a theoretical and methodological and empirical perspective. The issues we want to discuss in this book are: diaspora, immigration and nationalism in the postmodern era. We think the unbalance globalization brought problems in many countries, especially in the considered poor ones. Impacts of those areas can be seen in sports, when many athletes travel far way to work in their profession so as to guarantee a better life for them and their families. There are many examples around the world, and it can be seen when athletes get dual nationalities so as to compete for different national teams or just helping to develop a sport in a country. A good example is the 61 "foreigner" soccer players that played for different National teams in the FIFA World Cup 2006 in Germany. The sense of dislocation and identity of those athletes are important to understand the relation between sport and globalization. We want discuss the cultural moves around the world and the economic impact for the countries that are involved.
When there are countless examples and evidence of increasing significance of these migrations, the academic community continues to lag behind in terms of analysis and critical interrogation in the sport arena. In these research contributions is necessary to discuss the significance of the political, cultural, economic, sociological in a mixed and globalized perspective.
Chapters should be roughly 8.000 words, excluding endnotes and reference list. Authors should follow the "Instructions to contributors" found in the most Journals in our field. Questions should be sent to Dr. Carlos Ribeiro, c.henriqueribeiro@ig.com.br. All submissions are due by November 30, 2007.
Organizer: Prof. Dr. Carlos Henrique de Vasconcellos Ribeiro, UNISUAM/ Rio de Janeiro/ Brazil & David Hassan (University of Ulster at Jordanstouwn)

CFP: The Olympics: Politics and Protest
The Olympics: Politics and Protest
The Carnegie Faculty of Sport and Education at Leeds Metropolitan University invites papers for the above conference, to be held at Headingley Carnegie Stadium over 17th and 18th July 2008.
The Olympic Games are probably the most popular event in the history of sport. The TV audiences for both the Summer and the Winter Games now approach saturation point, the Games generate huge commercial possibilities for ‘Olympic partners’ and a deafening cheer goes up in the nominated country when the venue for the next tournament but one is revealed. Olympic history – especially the history dispensed by the International Olympic Committee itself – is invariably a history of sporting triumph and comradeship. The political dimensions of the Olympic movement have too often been hidden from its history – hence this conference.
We invite papers that take a critical stance on the Olympic movement at some point in its history. These papers may address any of the following themes:
- de Coubertin and the establishment of the modern Olympics
- campaigns against the Olympics and/or specific Olympiads
- gender and the Olympics and the campaign for gender equity
- racism and the Olympics
- the campaign to establish, and issues around, the Paralympics
- the amateur-professional divide
- commercialism and the Olympics
- Olympics and the Cold War
- the Olympics as a site of protest
- the Olympics and ‘human rights’
- the Olympics and the environment
- critiques of Olympic ideology and educational programmes
Needless to say, papers outside of these specified themes will be considered.
Keynote Speakers:
- Professor Helen Lenskyj (University of Toronto) author of Inside the Olympic Industry (State University of New York Press, 2000).
- John Horne, Reader in the Sociology of Sport, University of Edinburgh
Please direct outline of your proposed paper (300 words approx.), and any academic enquires, to conference organiser:

CONFERENCE: Future of Football, UK
We are pleased to support the first ‘Future of Football’ Conference at the Marriott Hotel, Grosvenor Square, London, UK, next Tuesday, 20 November. With increasing numbers of English Premier League clubs now being owned or significantly sponsored by Asian entrepreneurs and companies, the topics discussed by this conference's high-level speakers will be of interest to all of us in Asia ... where "the future is football!"
The one-day conference will split into two distinct sessions. In the morning, the focus will be on the ownership of football clubs. Keith Harris (Chairman of investment bank Seymour Pierce), Randy Lerner (owner of Aston Villa), David Dein (former Vice-Chairman of Arsenal) and Ferran Soriano (Vice-President, FC Barcelona) will be among those offering their opinion on why English clubs are the targets for ‘foreign’ investors, and what this means for all levels of the world game.
The afternoon session will concentrate more on events on the pitch with many of the game’s top managers including Sir Alex Ferguson, Sam Allardyce, Alan Curbishley and Lawrie Sanchez discussing the latest in coaching techniques and debating how best to maximise a player’s performance.
The conference will also witness the first major speech on football by Billy Beane. The Oakland Athletics General Manager was the star of the 2003 book ‘Moneyball’. A big football fan, Beane is famous for ripping up the traditional scouting manual in baseball in favour of a more analytical approach. He is coming to London to see if some of his SS sports techniques can transcend to the world of football.

Theories of the state
Political systems and state involvement in sport
