Descrizione

In this volume, the Author deepens the importance and the function of sports and recreational activities as a factor of cohesion and social integration.

The analysis is carried out by comparing the Italian experience with those of other European countries and of the USA. Sport as a factor of social integration was, in particular, observed with regard to French, Spanish and American policies, with a focus on the issues of gender equality and related pay differences in sport and in the world of school and inter-university competitions. Finally, the role of the tax variable in these areas was analyzed.

The work helps to clarify the centrality of policies of orientation and development of sport as a balancing of social differences and element of popular aggregation.
