Regionalism and Nationalism in Contemporary International Sport
The first International Conference of the joint PSA/In the Zone Sport and Politics Consultancy will take place at the University of Vic in Catalonia in Partnership with Southampton Solent University, England on Thursday, June 29th and Friday, June 30th 2017.
This is an exciting development and opportunity which seeks to enhance the partnership between the hosting institutions with the expressed hope of staging a stimulating forum for debate in an international context around the debates and issues raised by the conference theme.
At a time when the relationship between Regions, Nations and complex Global forces and events has come under increasing scrutiny, sport continues to play a pivotal role in the articulation and reinforcement of Regional and National Identities on an International basis. As Europe faces an uncertain and divided future, as Asia becomes increasingly powerful, and the United States reflects deep schisms, we would wish the Conference to consider the implications of these and other developments on International Sport, from Spain and Catalonia, to Europe, The Americas, Asia and Africa.
