Higher Education in Sport in Europe
Higher Education in Sport in Europe is a topical subject in several respects: academic sport education in European countries as an integral part of the European Higher Education Area on the one hand and sport itself as the subject matter of European politics on the other. This book illustrates both aspects against the backdrop of the European education reform processes (Bologna Process, Lisbon Strategy, Lifelong Learning, European Qualification Framework etc.) with focus on the Thematic Network Project "Aligning a European Higher Education Structure in Sport Science". The four-year project (2003 - 2007) has set up future guidelines for sport curricula in Sport Coaching, Health & Fitness, Sport Management and Physical Education in order to combine the academic quality and the European dimension with relevance to the labour market. This approach points to the ongoing proactive role played by Higher Education institutions.
Moderate Modernity
Focusing on the fate of a Berlin-based newspaper during the 1920s and 1930s, Moderate Modernity: The Newspaper Tempo and the Transformation of Weimar Democracy chronicles the transformation of a vibrant and liberal society into an oppressive and authoritarian dictatorship.

Anti-Racism in European Football
European societies have long been tarnished by racial discrimination, and the game of football is no exception. With immigrants arriving from former colonies, European Union member-states, and third-world countries, integration in these two societies has been ascribed significance across the continent. Considering that the conduct of football fans in stadiums reflects_to a certain extent_society as a whole, this book examines the impact of racism upon the popular game. Anti-Racism in European Football provides a critical assessment of the campaigns and related policies of organizations that work to understand racism in football. It explores what has been achieved by the organizations' campaigns, the problems they encountered, and how these were overcome. In its focus on the work that anti-racism organizations carry out, this book's original contributions should appeal to professionals in football-related NGOs, and students and scholars working in social science fields related to racism and sport.
