Beyond Soccer: International Relations and Politics as Seen through the Beautiful Game provides students with a new and innovative way to learn about political science and international relations. It uses soccer players, officials, fans, and organizations to teach political science concepts--such as geopolitics, discourses, and sovereignty--and IR theories--including realism, liberalism, and feminism. This text also incorporates three common soccer discourses to highlight the possibilities of soccer as a tool for unity and social change, as a defender of established power, and as simultaneously a mechanism used by established power and an engine for social resistance. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith exercises, discussion questions, and keywords included in each chapter, Beyond Soccer is a worthwhile and accessible educational tool. Primarily written for undergraduate students of all levels, this book will be valuable in political science, international relations, cultural studies, and sociology courses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tamir Bar-On\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 144227543X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781442275430\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rowman \u0026amp; Littlefield Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/03\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 340\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 1.10d","brand":"Tamir Bar-On","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44066217459967,"sku":"9781442275430","price":44.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e4e89101-ac2a-4d86-83f6-3b5dbae7d863.jpg?v=1685405968","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/beyond-soccer-tamir-bar-on-9781442275430","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
