Routledge Handbook of Sport for Development and Peace

The Routledge Handbook of Sport for Development and Peace provides a deep look into how physical activity is used on an international scale to support social and economic development. As the Sport for Development and Peace (SDP) sector grows, it has become a major area of study for governments, NGOs, and sport organizations. This book examines the institutionalization of these activities and how they contribute to peacebuilding and conflict resolution. This volume offers a critical discussion of the central elements and research issues within the SDP field. It is a key resource for anyone studying the intersection of sport and social change. Readers will find a series of case studies that help ground theoretical concepts in real-world applications. Whether you are a scholar, student, or professional working in international development, this handbook serves as an essential guide to understanding the evolving landscape of sport-based social intervention.
