While sport is played all around the world, the power relationships in global sport still favor the larger nations of the Northern Hemisphere with particular sites of power located in Europe and North America. Infrastructure and opportunities are also vastly uneven throughout the world though many sport development programs have been established in the nations of the Global South. This conference will address major issues facing sport in the Global South and brings together researchers and practitioners in discussions about the structural problems and the prospects for sport in the Global South during the Twenty-First Century
While several roundtable panels are planned for the conference, we will also have several themed and open paper sessions covering any aspect of sport and the Global South. Please send your paper title, 200 word abstracts, and institutional affiliation and contact details to Professor John Nauright at George Mason University at jnaurigh@gmu.edu by 31 July 2011. Confirmation of acceptance will be made by 15 August 2011.
