Sport Policy and Finance Ⅱ

Dear Colleagues,

The importance of focusing on sustainability in sport policy and finance has been increasingly emphasized by academics and practitioners worldwide. This Special Issue, as a continuation of the successful Special Issue “Sport Policy and Finance” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/sustainability/special_issues/Sport_Policy_Finance), seeks submissions on this topic, with a view to advancing academic knowledge and providing practical recommendations based on articles representing the different parts of the world.

The following list is not exclusive, but cross-cutting themes might include: policy, financial investment, and social impact (Lombardo, Mazzocchetti, Rapallo, Tayser, and Cincotti, 2019); policy, talent, and/or career sustainability (Richardson and McKenna, 2019); career transition and financial sustainability (Felipe et al., 2020); policy and sustainable engagement of actors (Viollet, Scelles, and Ferrand, 2020); sport for development and peace and sustainability (Giulianotti, Darnell, Collison, and Howe, 2018; Hayhurst and del Socorro Cruz Centeno, 2019); policy change and sustainability (Peng, Skinner, and Houlihan, 2019); sports events and impact on sports organisations and territories (Potwarka and Wicker, 2021; Pyun, Kim, Schlesinger, and Matto, 2020; Wicker and Frick, 2020); sports events and legacy governance (Byun and Leopkey, 2020); non-for-profit organisations and financial sustainability (Guevara, Martin, and Arcas, 2021); sustainable performance and financial value (Scelles, Helleu, Durand, and Bonnal, 2013, 2016; Scelles, Helleu, Durand, Bonnal, and Morrow, 2017); insolvencies and remedies (Carin, 2019; Scelles, Szymanski and Dermit-Richard, 2018; Szymanski, 2017; Szymanski and Weimar, 2019); financial regulation and sustainability (Dermit-Richard, Scelles and Morrow, 2019; Morrow, 2014; Peeters and Szymanski, 2014; Szymanski, 2014); financial capability, innovation and sustainable development (Chen, Zhang, and Pifer, 2019); stadium funding and sustainable business model (Bunds, McLeod, Barrett, Newman, and Koenigstorfer, 2019); women’s sports and sustainability (Kringstad, Olsen, Jakobsen, Storm, and Schelde, 2021; Valenti, 2019); e-sport and its sustainable development (Peng, Dickson, Scelles, Grix, and Brannagan, 2020); new data typology and sustainability (Lavallee, Lowder, and Lowder, 2020); youth sports and sustainability (Stritmatter, Hanstad, and Skirstad, 2021); and financial sustainability of the sport industry (Jacobsen, Kringstad, and Olsen, 2021).

The purpose of the Special Issue is two-fold: first, to usefully supplement existing literature by updating and extending it through new data, approaches, and/or contexts in order to have a sustainable academic impact; second, to provide up-to-date and long-lasting practical recommendations for policy makers and sports managers in order to have a sustainable real world impact.
