New Article on Transparency and Hybridity in Global Sport

My article, Reforming Global Sport: Hybridity and the Challenges of Pursuing Transparency, in issue 37(4) of Law & Policy is available now. The abstract is as follows:

In light of recent controversies in global sport, this article surveys the challenges of pursuing transparency in this particular domain of governance. Although corruption in sport is attracting more scholarly attention, there remains little sociolegal research that reflects critically on corporate governance in sport and its implications. This article outlines current calls for greater transparency in global sport and considers how capitalistic underpinnings and distinct hybrid arrangements complicate the task of transparency. It concludes by reflecting on how insights from studies of regulatory capitalism can inform alternative approaches to transparency and accountability in global sport.
