Description
Book SynopsisThis Handbook presents a comprehensive collection of essays by leading scholars and practitioners in the burgeoning field of international sports law.
Trade Review’Nafziger and Ross have provided an enormously useful collection of incisive and integrating essays that cover the gamut of important issues in the emerging field of international sport law.’ -- Andrew Zimbalist, Smith College
’Despite taking a wide variety of forms, sport is universal. Circumstances and events generating legal issues in sport are similarly universal, but sport operates under many legal systems worldwide. Fragmentation and inconsistency in legal outcomes often result. This innovative collection of essays by leading scholars of sports law addresses a gap in the literature. It advances understanding of how different legal systems respond to common issues and offers insights into the developing international system of sports law. Researchers will find this book of inescapable assistance and interest.’ -- Hayden Opie, Melbourne Law School, Australia
