Handbook on the Economics of Sport
The editors should be commended for taking on such a big task, and succeeding so well. This book should be in the library of every institution where students have to write a paper that may be related to sport, or on the shelf of any lecturer teaching economics or public finance who has even a remote interest in sport. The material is very accessible, and useful in many different settings. Ruud H. Koning, Jahrbücher f. Nationalökonomie u. Statistik Edward Elgar s brilliant market niche is identifying a topic in economics, finding editors who know the area backwards and challenging them to assemble the best cross-section of relevant articles either already published or newly commissioned.

Transatlantic Sport
The vast sums of money generated by sport worldwide have meant that the laws of economic competition have an important role to play in the organization and regulation of the industry. This volume offers a comparative perspective on the economics of sport and highlights both the similarities and differences in the North American and European models of sport. It tackles policy issues, such as organizing, financing and regulation of team sports alongside theoretical issues regarding income redistribution and competitive balance. It also evaluates the impact of sport and sports events on local com.
An Ethico-Political Evaluation of the Necessity for a Referendum over any Future German Olympic Bid
The implementation of referenda in advance to an Olympic bid is common in Western democratic countries. In many cases, they have produced negative results, ending the aspiration of Olympic Games on the spot. Germany is no exception to this case. While recent research has predominantly investigated the possible reasons why past referenda have failed, the aim of this book is to evaluate the necessity of a referendum as a tool in the first place. Since a referendum is no formal requirement by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), its application is examined on an ethico-political level. Therefore, the advantages and disadvantages of a referendum in terms of any future German Olympic bid are analysed and discussed – from a political, civil and German Olympic Sports Confederation (DOSB) perspective. Based on the findings, this work rejects the necessity of a referendum before a German Olympic bid, as the alignment of ethico-political considerations analysed does not seem to be sufficiently pronounced in the de jure and de facto implementation of this tool.

Legacy, Sustainability and CSR at Mega Sport Events
The UEFA European Football Championship 2008TM (EURO 2008) was the largest sports event ever organized in Switzerland. The host nations Austria and Switzerland emphasized the sustainability of the event. Through their analysis the authors argue that well-known principles of sustainability and policy were not uniformly implemented for the EURO 2008. Nonetheless, this book shows how, in Switzerland, a legacy was created through the implementation of corporate governance and social responsibility policies by UEFA, the Swiss Government and the Swiss Football Association. This book offers an unprecedented resource for sports practitioners and researchers. It provides a wealth of data based on the study of existing scholarly literature, key strategic and conceptual documents as well as exclusive interviews with high-level executives involved in the organization of EURO 2008.

Ökonomie des Tourismus durch Sportgroßveranstaltungen
Sportgroßevents ziehen Besuchermassen aus dem In- und Ausland an und stellen zunehmend ein Instrument der Standortpolitik der jeweiligen Austragungsorte dar. Damit können durch gesellschaftliche Mobilisierung, Werbe- und Imageeffekte sowie nicht zuletzt wirtschaftliche Wirkungen attraktive sozioökonomische Impulse in den Ausrichtungsregionen gesetzt werden. Die Fußball-Weltmeisterschaft 2006 war ein Meilenstein und eine einmalige Chance sowohl für die Praxis der veranstaltungsbasierten Standortpolitik als auch die Eventforschung in Deutschland. Mithilfe der umfangreichen Großerhebung leiten die Autoren erstmals eine Reihe von bedeutsamen Handlungshinweisen für den strategischen Einsatz und die konzeptionelle Implementierung von Großveranstaltungen ab.
