More than a market? The regulation of sport in the European Union

Article Abstract:

The notion that sport is much more than a mere economic activity, an industry or a market, has guided and limited the Eueopean Union's (EU's) involvement in the regulation of sport. EU's limited involvement in regulating sport has happened not only because such an idea is embedded in the traditional regulation of sport in Europe, but also because it had powerful carriers who were forced to forge an uneasy compromise with the promoters of change - a relationship between ideas and agency.
