Routledge Gender Diversity in European Sport Governance Book

Explore the complex landscape of gender equality within European sports organizations with this academic study. While gender equality remains a fundamental democratic principle of the European Union, research indicates that women hold only fourteen percent of decision-making roles within the Federation of Olympic Sports in Europe. This book provides a deep look into how different European regions and countries attempt to solve this imbalance. This volume offers a comparative analysis of various strategies used to increase female representation in leadership. By examining specific countries such as Germany and Hungary, the text evaluates which methods have been effective and the actual impact of these changes. It serves as an essential resource for those studying the intersection of sport, culture, and society, providing evidence-based insights into the structural challenges facing modern sports governance.
