Cultural perspectives on sport legislation

Jeffrey F. Levine

Chapter 9 in Handbook on Sport and Culture, 2025, pp 124-139 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter investigates how sport legislation reflects and reinforces cultural values across nations, shaping societal norms and influencing how sport is played. It explores the cultural underpinnings of law and the varied contexts that shape legal frameworks. Through a comparative analysis of anti-hooliganism and anti-doping laws in two countries, the chapter highlights differing approaches to shared challenges. A case study on Norway illustrates how cultural priorities manifest in legislation promoting youth participation in sport.
