Globalization, Sport and Gender Relations

This chapter outlines the integral features of global sportization processes before then considering how power relations between the sexes are represented in these. Thereafter, it draws on sensitizing concepts from process sociology to advance knowledge about contemporary aspects of gender, sport, and globalization. The chapter concludes with reflections on future research avenues on the global sport figuration and the need to remain attuned to the varying social consequences that arise from the equalization of power relations between the sexes.
