Book Description

The football World Cup is unquestionably the biggest sporting event in the world. This fascinating collection of papers examines the background to the 2002 World Cup Finals, held in Korea and Japan, and explores the event's profound social, cultural, political and economic significance. The book offers important insight into topics such as: * the development of professional football in Korea and Japan * the political and diplomatic significance of the first co-hosted World Cup * FIFA and the 'back stage' dealing behind the World Cup * football as a global culture and its impact on 'traditional' East Asian structures. This book is essential reading for anybody looking to understand the power of sporting 'mega-events' and the increasingly complex relationship between sport and society. It is also an absorbing read for all serious fans of world football.

Book Description

Football is the world's most popular sport and it's greatest means of cultural expression. By combining on-the-ground reporting around the globe with investigative journalism and analysis, Joey D'Urso explains the modern world through one of its few universal symbols - the football shirt. More Than A Shirt: Football Shirts That Explain The Modern World examines some of the biggest stories of our time; states in the middle east navigating the end of oil, China's rise as a world power, Putin's wars, global migration, the boom and bust in cryptocurrencies, deindustrialisation in the left-behind-West, and the decline of democracy. It is a journey that will take readers from Barnsley to Berlin, Miami to Milan, and Goa to Rio de Janeiro. Football shirts and their sponsors provide a window through which we can understand not just the world of football but the world in general and the currents of money, people and ideas which flow between continents and through the globe's most popular sport. For fans of Prisoners of Geography, The People's Game and Expected Goals, this is an accessible voyage through politics and history, using the lens of football to explain our modern world.
