| Summary |
"The second edition of this comprehensive Handbook presents new and significantly revised chapters by leading scholars and practitioners in the burgeoning field of international sports law. National, regional and comparative dimensions of sports law are emphasized throughout, exploring a wide range of issues emerging in sports law today. Approaching international sports law through three converging frameworks, this Handbook examines the institutions of international sport, the eligibility rights and protections of athletes, as well as the commercial side of international sport. New topics discussed in this edition include concussions, EU antitrust and other regulation of sport, review of awards by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), college and university athletics, league and team restrictions on athlete movement, taxation of athletes and sports as cultural heritage. Covering some of the most controversial and cutting-edge issues in international sports law, this timely Handbook will prove invaluable for academics and students of sports law, sports management, international law and comparative law. With a global scope, the Handbook will also prove a vital resource to practicing lawyers, players' agents, senior executives and other professionals within the sports industry"-- Provided by publisher. |
