A long standing member of Sport&EU, Dr. Anastasios Kaburakis, is working with the International Association of Sports Law (IASL) and Istanbul University Law Faculty Centre of Comparative Law on an International Sports Law and Business Conference (ISLBC) in Istanbul, Turkey September 6-7, 2010. The Conference will coincide with the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) World Championships hosted by Turkey in late August – early September 2010. The objective of the academic and practitioners conference is to discuss the internationalization of sport business, legal and policy issues, and opportunities for collaboration between academic units and sport business practitioners.
This research project intends to investigate the extent to which professional football has been Europeanised by analysing the structures of football in 10 different countries. The project is led by Dr. Borja Garcia (Loughborough University), Dr. Arne Niemann (University of Amsterdam) and Professor Wyn Grant (University of Warwick) and it is developed under the umbrella of Sport&EU, with the funding of Loughbourough University’s Centre for the Study of International governance (CSIG) and the School of Sport and Exercise Sciences, also at Loughborough University. The project will comprise a workshop in June 2009 were work in progress will be presented and the end result will be a collective book to be published by Manchester University Press in 2010 under the title The Transformation of European Football: A Case of Europeanisation?
