Description

The Politics of Leisure Policy provides a comprehensive account of the major issues in relation to sports, arts and recreational policy in the 1990s. It traces the relationship between local and central government and private provision and the political ideologies which have shaped it - notably a whole decade of New Right thinking which has left its legacy in a policy agenda dominated by economic rather than social aesthetic and conservationist criteria
