Politics, Economy, and Social Issues in Contemporary Football
Politica, economia e questioni sociali nel calcio contemporaneo
Résumé
In Political Football. Regulation, Globalisation and the Market, Wyn Grant examines the political economy of football and its difficult relationship with the market. Grant argues that the world of football is largely exempt from the measures of the regulating state and is to some extent self-regulating. The political economy of football has become more important because the game has been colonised by elements of the economic class. There is a tension between the profit-maximising understanding of football and a more community-oriented, democratic vision aimed at pursuing government policy goals. The insights of economics and politics are necessary to understand the political economy of football, but they should not be mixed. Economics allows us to understand the characteristics of the football market, while politics allows us to analyse both the politics of co-optation and engagement and the politics of resistance.
