Brief Description

This panel is an exploration of Socialist sport before and after 1991. It focuses on the way European socialist states had produced new models, norms and patterns of practices. This panel aims at understanding how socialist governments developed a set of sports policies they tried to export all across the world, in particular in the “Global south”. It will also analyze how athletes, trainers and sports leaders adapted themselves to the political and the economic transformations after the end of socialist regimes.
