Abstract

In this chapter we advocate for more nuanced understandings of sport and social transformation by thinking critically about the ways that girls and women are often represented as ‘transformational subjects’ in various global (and local) sport for development and peace (SDP) programmes and policies. To do this, we outline literature focused on social transformation, change, gender, and development through understandings of modernisation, dependency, and neo-liberalism as key underpinnings of ‘development’ and, relatedly, social transformation. We also examine how the scholarship on sport engages with, and takes up, the topic of social transformation in relation to existing literature on SDP. We then explore some of these issues through our recent research on sport, gender, development, social entrepreneurship, and transformation.
