Inspiration from Brussels? the European Union and Sport

By: Jacob Kornbeck

The name "Brussels" has become largely synonymous with the regulatory role of the EU. Yet "Brussels" is also a source of inspiration, especially in such areas where the EU is not empowered to regulate, and this side of "Brussels" is a rather different one. The emerging policy field of sport (which only recently got a legal base in the Treaty of Lisbon) illustrates the complementarity of inspiration versus regulation coming "from Brussels". By drawing on two case studies - the fight against doping and the promotion of health-enhancing physical activity - the book shows that inspiration "from Brussels" takes on a special dimension in relation to sport and physical activity because sport policies are often heavily dependent on various, largely unquestioned arrangements which are in place at national, regional or local level. While EU-level regulation remains a possibility in certain cases, the scope for regulation is very limited. The scope for inspiration, by contrast, is almost endless. The sport sector is a natural candidate for inspiration and inspiration "from Brussels" can be an opportunity for renewal.

Alternatives to Convergence?

Social work and social pedagogy in higher education (1989-2004) and the question of Europeanisation

By: Jacob Kornbeck

How does professional education for future social workers and social pedagogues in one country compare with other countries? What happened in Germany, Denmark and French-speaking Belgium during the years 1989-2004, starting with the year when an EU Directive laid down common rules for the mutual recognition of higher education qualifications? And which lessons may English and British academics, policy-makers, employers and unionists draw from this European material? Are social work and social pedagogy bound to converge as they did in Germany? Or are there Alternatives to Convergence? Did professional education in the countries examined show signs of Europeanisation? These are some of the questions which readers will be able to explore in this book.\pAfter working in the European Commission (Sport Unit) (2001-14) Jacob Kornbeck recently joined the Secretariat of the European Data Protection Supervisor (Policy and Consultation Unit). His part-time research interests cover a range of policy areas, often involving transnational comparisons. Apart from social work and social pedagogy he has written and lectured on various aspects of sports policy, in particular anti-doping and athletes' rights, as well as health-enhancing physical activity (HEPA). Jacob holds degrees from German and British universities. This book is the slightly reworked text of his doctoral thesis (University of London). Following Inspiration from Brussels: the European Union and Sport (published by EHV Academic Press in 2013), this is his second book.\p

Global Sport Management Education

Policy, Curriculum and Implementation

By: Mike Rayner,Tom Webb,Ruth Sibson,Jacob K. Tingle

Drawing on original and innovative research from around the world, this book explores issues and opportunities relating to internationalising sport management curriculum. It explains how to design and implement an international curriculum, and therefore how to better equip graduates for work in an increasingly global sport business environment. This book provides an in-depth understanding of the role educational developers can play in the internationalisation of higher education and in the provision of an internationalised learning experience for all students studying sport management around the globe. It introduces the core principles of the internationalisation of sport management education and how to apply those in teaching and learning on university courses, including the provision of study abroad programmes that improve interpersonal and communication skills, adaptability and self-confidence. Adopting a values-driven approach that puts global citizenship, cultural capital and international diversity at the heart of good programme design, this book touches on key issues in contemporary higher education, including employability, student support, inclusivity and equity, building influential learning communities and co-creation in teaching and learning. This is an invaluable resource for instructors, lecturers, course leaders, university administrators and policy makers with an interest in sport-related studies or the development of higher education.
