  • The politics of policy regimes around sports, gambling and the problem of match-fixing – how betting revenues, regulations and technologies change the way contemporary sports are experienced and consumed; and
  • The institutional design of sport development systems behind the integrity issues, such as corruption, match-fixing, athlete safeguarding, etc.
