Sport in the Middle East has become a major issue in global affairs. The contributors to this timely volume discuss the intersection of political and cultural processes related to sport in the region. Eleven chapters trace the historical institutionalization of sport and the role it has played in negotiating "Western" culture. Sport is found to be a contested terrain where struggles are being fought over the inclusion of women, over competing definitions of national identity, over preserving social memory, and over press freedom. Also discussed are the implications of mega-sporting events for host countries, and how both elite sport policies and sports industries in the region are being shaped. Sport, Politics and Society in the Middle East draws on academic disciplines from the humanities and social sciences to offer in-depth, theoretically grounded, and richly empirical case studies. It employs diverse research methodologies, from ethnography and in-depth interviews to archival research, to make a lasting contribution to this critical subject.

A well-researched and actual book based on qualitative field studies and observations; also discusses political and sociological nexus among the Middle Eastern societies and sports. However mostly focused on the Gulf sports (Qatar, UAE) and Lebanon-Turkey; ignores two significant regional sport centers (Iran and Egypt). Also check my recently published book review on that valuable volume: insightturkey.com/book-reviews/sp...
