In a context of ever-growing state involvement in sport, here is a much- needed, comprehensive review of all areas of sport policy, paying equal attention to policy development, implementation, and the outcomes which, as this book shows, are usually rather different to all the key actors' intentions , Professor Ken Roberts, School of Sociology and Social Policy, University of Liverpool An extremely useful teaching aid ... It makes a clear, concise and important contribution to the existing sport policy literature , Peter Millward, Managing Leisure Many books aspire to be both accessible to practitioners and academics but encounter problems truly speaking to the former. This book does so by using accessible language and adopting a strong narrative throughout each of the chapters making the reader keen to find out what happens next in the sports development policy story. It also manages to engage all aspects of the sports development spectrum from elite sport through to grass roots activity. For those specialising in either area, this book will provide valuable insights into the broader context for sport. , Amy Shephard, Leisure Studies
