Abstract

This chapter provides an overview of the systems and policies related to sport and its promotion. The major thrust of the chapter is in describing the role of the government in the promotion of sport and its relationship to the nongovernmental enterprises. It is noted that while the government sets lofty goals to encourage both participation and excellence in sport, the budget allocations toward these ends are limited and that even these limited allocations are not properly used. The involvement of business and industrial enterprises in sport is also highlighted.
