Abstract

Globalization has been researched and explained a lot over the past two decades and the sociology of sport has contributed a lot to it as the sport has been a highly important driver of globalization processes, for example through the mega-events such as the Olympics that have worldwide television audiences. As the sociologist Roland Robertson said, globalization ‘refers both to the comprehension of the world and the intensification of consciousness of the world as a whole’. It was the same sociologist that added that globalization is a multi-faceted process featuring various cultural, social, political and economic dimensions. He emphasized that ‘local’ and ‘global’ are not in opposition to each other, but interdependent. Global sport can be discussed from political-economic points of view, as well as from socio-cultural aspects.
