Description
Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) Governing the Society of Competition: Cycling Doping and the Law by Martin Hardie
This book uses contemporary social theory to consider the manner in which the making and implementation of law and governance is changing in the global context. It explores this through a study of the deployment of the global anti-doping apparatus including the World Anti-Doping Code and its institutions with specific reference to professional cycling a sport that has been at the forefront of some of the most celebrated doping cases and controversies in recent years. Critically it argues that the changes to law and governance are not restricted to sport and anti-doping but are actually inherent to broader processes associated with neoliberalism and social and behavioural surveillance affecting all aspects of society and its political institutions.
