The Routledge Handbook of Sport in Asia This is the first book to offer a comprehensive overview of the history, development and contemporary significance of sport in Asia.

With contributions from 74 leading international scholars, it offers a new perspective on understanding Asian sport and society, telling the story of how sport in this mega-region is coming together and reshaping the world in the process.
