TY - JOUR ID - 820708 AU - Numerato, Dino PY - 2008 TI - Czech Sport Governing Bodies and Social Capital JF - International Review for the Sociology of Sport VL - 43 IS - 1 SP - 21-34 EP - 21-34 SN - 10126902 KW - civic engagement KW - Czech Republic KW - ethnographic study KW - social capital KW - sport governing body UR - http://irs.sagepub.com/cgi/content/abstract/43/1/21 N2 - The main objective of the study is to explore the mechanisms influencing the nature of civic engagement in sport federations with a particular interest in barriers undermining their functioning. The article is based on the multi-sited ethnographic study in three sport governing bodies in the Czech Republic (handball, football and sailing) and uses a combination of techniques such as participant and non-participant observation, semi-structured interviews and secondary analysis of available documents. The main barriers identified are seen as a product of encounters between local and national levels of sport governing bodies. The concept of social capital with its structural, relational and cognitive dimensions is presented as a tool to grasp the phenomena under study. ER -
