Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
This book critically examines the intersection of football, development and peacebuilding through diverse case studies across global contexts. Drawing on the author’s 20 years’ experience of research and practice in sport-for-development across six continents, the book explores the potential of football as a unifying force and a tool of positive social change.
Analysing initiatives in Northern Ireland, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Russia, Albania, Venezuela, Liberia, and Australia, the book examines the socio-political landscapes of these regions, assessing the effectiveness of football-based programmes in promoting social integration, development and peace, and in addressing challenges such as poverty, health, inequality and violence. Emphasising the importance of cultural sensitivity, collaborative partnerships and critical reflection, the book offers insights into the complexities, challenges, limitations and potential of football-for-development initiatives.
Featuring important perspectives on research, methodology, ethics, implementation and practice, this book is essential reading for any advanced student, researcher or practitioner with an interest in sport development, sport management, football studies, development studies, or the wider relationships between sport and society.
