An Economic Roadmap to the Dark Side of Sport

<p>This Palgrave Pivot forms the final part of Andreff's trilogy reviewing the economic aspects of criminal behaviour in sports. In this volume, Andreff focuses on the&nbsp;most economically significant manipulations&nbsp;jeopardising&nbsp;the future of current, modern,&nbsp;sport: rigged online sport betting and doping. The former is framed as a new business&nbsp;undertaken by global criminal networks&nbsp;linked to economic globalisation, whilst the latter discusses empirical evidence, definitions, regulations and various regional and sporting case studies. Andreff summarises by using game theory to propose a new incentive scheme that could act as a solution for addressing such criminal activity in future.&nbsp;</p><p>Volumes I and II (available separately) address Sport Manipulations and Corruption in Sport respectively.</p><p>This book will be of interest to students, researchers and journalists in sports science, sports management and sports economics.</p>
