"This book fills an important gap in the sport governance literature by engaging in critical reflection on the concept of 'good governance'. It examines the theoretical perspectives that lead to different conceptualisations of governance and, therefore, to different standards for institutional quality. It explores the different practical strategies that have been employed to achieve the implementation of good governance principles. The first part of the book aims to shed light on the complexity and nuances of good governance by examining theoretical perspectives including leadership, value, feminism, culture and systems. The second part of the book has a practical focus, concentrating on reform strategies, from compliance policies and codes of ethics to external reporting and integrity systems. Together, these studies shed important new light on how we define and understand governance, and on the limits and capabilities of different methods for inducing good governance. With higher ethical standards demanded in sport business and management than ever before, this book is important reading for all advanced students and researchers with an interest in sport governance and sport policy, and for all sport industry professionals looking to improve their professional practice"-- Provided by publisher.

Much of the research on ethnicity, development and conflict implicitly assumes that ethnic groups act collectively in pursuit of their interests. Collective political action is typically facilitated by political parties able to make credible commitments to pursue group interests. Other work, however, emphasizes the lack of political credibility as a source of adverse development outcomes. Evidence presented here uses partisan preferences across 16 Sub-Saharan African countries to distinguish these positions. The evidence is inconsistent with the credibility of party commitments to pursue collective ethnic interests: ethnic clustering of political support is less widespread than expected; members of clustered ethnic groups exhibit high rates of partisan disinterest and are only slightly more likely to express a partisan preference; and partisan preferences are more affected by factors, such as gift-giving, often associated with low political credibility. These findings emphasize the importance of looking beyond ethnicity in analyses of economic development.

"Une forme spécifique de revendication démocratique serait-elle à l'œuvre en Chine ? La "protestation", en se généralisant, y amorcerait-elle un processus aux conséquences imprévisibles ? Telles sont les questions que soulèvent les auteurs de cette saisissante étude. Elle porte sur une réalité largement méconnue. Depuis 1951 existe là-bas un dispositif intitulé "Administration des Lettres et visites". Créé par Mao Zedong, il était destiné à recevoir les plaintes, protestations et doléances des particuliers. Cet ouvrage raconte comment cette administration, souvent instrumentalisée idéologiquement, n'a cessé de s'étendre et de se codifier. Mais aussi et surtout comment elle a autorisé un espace de parole qui est devenu le lieu d'une contestation du réel massive et inattendue. L'immense collection de doléances ainsi recueillie - tant par voie écrite (les lettres) qu'orale (les visites) -, qui raconte en creux l'histoire de la Chine moderne, n'avait jamais été examinée. Les auteurs ont pu avoir accès à des centaines de ces lettres et enquêter sur la pratique (très réglementée) des visites, jusqu'alors inconnue du dehors, pour essayer de comprendre qui s'exprime au sein de cet espace ; auprès de qui ; pour dire quoi ; et comment. Le résultat de leur travail est inédit. Il montre comment ceux qui, depuis des décennies, adressent lettres et visites aux autorités font état d'attentes morales et politiques souvent ignorées mais qui relèvent bien d'un processus d'invention démocratique"--P.
