Description and Table of Contents
Description
Elgar Advanced Introductions are stimulating and thoughtful introductions to major fields in the social sciences, business and law, expertly written by the world's leading scholars. Designed to be accessible yet rigorous, they offer concise and lucid surveys of the substantive and policy issues associated with discrete subject areas.
Stephen F. Ross presents this succinct introduction to key topics of law specific to sports, comparing approaches to sports law across the globe, with particular focus on the United States, Europe, and common law jurisdictions. Contrasting the profit-maximizing approach of North American leagues with the global integrated approach of professional sports governed by national and international governing boards, the book offers a novel model for the latter.
Key features include:
an exploration of how law facilitates or impairs revenue generation through contract, intellectual property, and other doctrines
an insight into remedies for player contract breaches
examination of the widespread use of arbitration in the resolution of sports law disputes
analysis of competition law and human rights law as the principal external legal constraints on sporting entities.
This Advanced Introduction will be a useful resource for scholars and advanced students of sports law. It will also be beneficial for sports lawyers and practitioners, as well as those in the fields of global and transnational law.
