Long description:

This Concise Encyclopedia provides a definitive and comprehensive overview of the emerging field of sports law. Entries identify the core principles, relevant regulatory basis and seminal jurisprudence of each topic.

Leading international experts examine the most pressing aspects of sports law such as good governance, regulation and sports integrity, as well as influential cases. Written in a succinct style, this Encyclopedia combines authoritative commentary and insightful analysis with a global comparative approach in order to reflect the universal appeal of sport itself.

Scholars, students and researchers in sports law will greatly benefit from this highly informative Concise Encyclopedia. Timely and engaging, it will also be an essential resource for practitioners, policymakers and professionals working in sports law, employment law, safeguarding and governance.

Key Features:

• A landmark reference work which presents a synopsis of current jurisprudence
• Over 90 entries provide an insight into crucial areas of sports law
• Each entry includes a bibliography as a valuable reference point for further reading
• Entries cover several major sports organisations including the International Olympic Committee, FIFA, the World Anti-Doping Agency and the Court of Arbitration for Sport

‘The word “concise” does not do justice to the breadth and depth of this work. It brings together worldwide expertise to explain not only sport jurisprudence but also the underlying principles and possible future paths. I know of the passion and knowledge that Björn, Ling and Jack bring to sports law at the academic and practical level and congratulate them on a tour de force.’
