Globalization & Football Theory, Culture & Society Theory, Culture & Society caters for the resurgence of interest in culture within contemporary social science and the humanities. Building on the heritage of classical social theory, the book series examines ways in which this tradition has been reshaped by a new generation of theorists. It also publishes theoretically informed analyses of everyday life, popular culture, and new intellectual movements.

That paper provided the inspiration for the writing of this book. We would also like to thank the Economic and Social Research Council for funding our two-year project on Scottish football and globalization (award number R000239833). Much of the theoretical and empirical work for this book was facilitated through that project. In the course of the last few years, we have benefitted substantially from correspondence and conversations with a wide range of social scientists on the subjects of football, sport and globalization. We would particularly like to thank the contributors to our edited book on Globalization and Sport (Blackwell, 2007) – David Andrews, Gary Armstrong, Thomas Hylland Eriksen, William Kelly, Frank Lechner, George Ritzer, Chris Rumford, Barry Smart – as well as John Boli, Susan Brownell, Robert Holton, Paul James and Franciscu Sedda. We are also grateful to Theory, Culture & Society for publishing our new book in conjunction with Sage. Particular thanks are due to Chris Rojek, Jai Seaman and Katie Forsythe at Sage who have done a tremendous job in patiently and expertly guiding this project through to completion.
