Books by P. David (Loughborough University Howe

Sport and physical activity are now regularly used in efforts towards social and economic development, and peace and conflict resolution, on an international scale.

Presenting an examination of the social, political and economic processes shaping the Paralympic Movement, this book reviews the status of the Paralympics. It challenges the mainstream assumption that the Games are a vehicle for empowerment of the disabled community, and offers insight into the relationship between sport, the body and disability.
