'The notion of governance has gained significant currency and has become an inseparable part of sport organisations' strategies and practices. It is also a widely taught subject in academic institutions. This is an original and well-conceptualized book, which provides a comprehensive examination of governance at different levels of analysis. Written by established scholars, the text represents a great reference source and will complement nicely the library of academics and practitioners alike.'- Vassil Girginov, President, European Association for Sport Management (EASM) 'The timeliness of this Research Handbook is underscored by the fact that the topic of sport governance has become extremely relevant and important but also extremely complex in our time.'- Hallgeir Gammelsæter, Molde Specialized University in Logistics, Norway Recent scandals across the word of sport can be directly related to poor governance.

Covering sport event governance, business implications, corporate social responsibility for enhancing good governance and extended board management, specific directions for further research are provided for each topic under examination. This is the essential reference for all sport governance researchers.

The complexity, environmental and cultural nuances of governance are highlighted through insightful illustrative case studies, whereby current model and frameworks of sport governance are not merely presented but are challenged and critiqued. This is essential reading for sport management researchers, students and practitioners.'--Tracy Taylor, UTS Business School, Australia'Congratulations to the Editors on compiling a rich and varied range of sport governance research from across the globe. This Research Handbook on Sport Governance collates the work of leading sport governance scholars from around the world providing a diverse and interesting array of views and perspectives on the theory and practice of sport governance. The chapters and information contained in this Research Handbook provide a unique audit of sport governance research to date as well as giving directions for future and necessary work in this domain in the years to follow. May this contribution stimulate further research in sport governance.'--David Shilbury, Deakin University, Australia'Good governance is the essence of good sport, hence it is a matter that demands the attention of everyone from athletes and fans to governing bodies and commercial partners. Yet we are living in an era where the principles of good governance are being challenged, raising numerous questions about its principles, application and management. As such, this is a timely text that addresses many of the most pertinent issues facing sports governance today. If sport is to effectively confront the governance challenges it faces, it is clear that Winand and Anagnostopoulos' Research Handbook must form a central part of our thinking about how we can ensure that sport is governed in an optimal way.'--Simon Chadwick, University of Salford, UK
