ABSTRACT

This article critically reviews the concept of sports autonomy. It argues that sports autonomy is of limited use for analysing and explaining the relationships between sports organisations and public authorities in diverse political and cultural contexts. Hence, the article proposes an alternative, advocating the use of collaborative governance theory as a conceptual framework to analyse the relationship between sports organisations and public authorities. We argue that comparative research on collaborative sport governance should employ the method of structured, focused comparisons tracing specific collaborations between public authorities and sports organisations.

摘要

本文批判性地回顾了体育自治的概念。它认为，体育自治在分析和解释不同政治和文化背景下体育组织与公共当局之间的关系方面用途有限。因此，本文提出了一个替代方案，提倡使用协同治理理论作为一个概念框架来分析体育组织与公共当局之间的关系。我们认为，关于协作体育治理的比较研究应该采用结构化、重点比较的方法，追踪公共当局和体育组织之间的具体合作。
