“…Nevertheless, Rossi and Jeanes (2016) argue that the potential of education-orientated SDP projects to enable individual young people to survive or even progress within neoliberal conditions of inequality should not be entirely discounted. We do not wish to be overly speculative or to overlook what the critical literature on SDP tells us about the neoliberal impulses that can undergird SDP policy and practice (Darnell, 2012).…”

This article addresses the urgent need for critical analysis of the relationships between sport and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) enshrined in the United Nations' global development framework, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Importantly, there has yet to be any substantial academic exploration of the implications of the position accorded to sport as 'an important enabler' of the aims of 2030 Agenda and its broad set of SDGs. In beginning to address this gap, we draw on the concept of policy coherence for two reasons. Firstly, the designation of a specific SDG Target for policy coherence is recognition of its centrality in working towards SDGs that are considered as 'integrated and indivisible'. Secondly, the concept of policy coherence is centred on a dualism that enables holistic examination of both synergies through which the contribution of sport to the SDGs can be enhanced as well as incoherencies by which sport may detract from such outcomes. Our analysis progresses through three examples that focus on the common orientation of the Sport for Development and Peace 'movement' towards education-orientated objectives aligned with SDG 4; potential synergies between sport participation policies and the SDG 3 Target for reducing non-communicable diseases; and practices within professional football in relation to several migration-related SDG Targets. These examples show the relevance of the SDGs across diverse sectors of the sport industry and illustrate complexities within and across countries that make pursuit of comprehensive policy coherence infeasible. Nevertheless, our analyses lead us to encourage both policy makers and researchers to continue to utilise the concept of policy coherence as a valuable lens to identify and consider factors that may enable and constrain various potential contributions of sport to a range of SDGs.

“…This literature has raised a number of critical challenges for practice. For example, it has been found that much of what occurs in the SFD field is messy, many claims made lack evidence (Coalter, 2013;Jeanes & Lindsey, 2014;Levermore, 2011;Rossi & Jeanes, 2016), and what is argued can often be contested (Coalter, 2015;Levermore, 2011). Although sport has the capacity to create transformation, other scholars have also warned that "there is a need to think more clearly, analytically and less emotionally about 'sport' and its potential .…”

Indigenous worldviews and scholarship are underrepresented and underdeveloped in sport for development and wider sport management spaces. Given many sport for social change initiatives target Indigenous populations, this is concerning. By adopting a Kaupapa Māori approach, a strengths-based stance, and working together with two plus-sport and sport-plus cases from provincial and national New Zealand rugby settings: the Taranaki Rugby Football Union’s and Feats’ Pae Tawhiti (seek distant horizons) Māori and Pasifika Rugby Academy and the E Tū Toa (stand strong), hei tū he rangatira (become a leader) Māori Rugby Development camps, the authors provide an illustration of Indigenous theory–practice. They argue sport for social change practices that focus on Indigenous peoples would be greatly improved if underpinned by the principles of perspective, privilege, politics, protection, and people. Thus, any sport for social change praxis seeking to partner with Indigenous communities ought to be informed by Indigenous philosophical viewpoints.

The positioning of sport as a vehicle via which many developmental interests might be served has seen sport included in social policy and justice agendas in many parts of the world (Burnett 2015;Coalter 2005Coalter , 2010Kidd 2008;Rossi and Jeanes 2016). A particular target has been marginalized and/or traumatized youth (Burnett 2015;Donnelly et al 2011;United Nations 2015a, 2015bVan Eekeren, Horst, and Fictorie 2013).…”

“…Darnell (2007, 561) noted that the benevolent training mission of SfD volunteers to empower and assist is, to some extent, based upon a requirement to establish 'a dichotomy between the empowered and disempowered, the vocal and the silent, the "knowers" and the "known"'. Fuelling this concern for the 'other' are the modern neoliberal philosophies and values woven into SfD programme design such that participants (often marginalized young people) are framed as problems, with limited focus on the social determinants that have and continue to impact on those individuals and their communities (Coakley 2011;Dean 1994Dean , 2014Dean , 2015Rose 2017;Rossi and Jeanes 2016;Rynne 2016).…”
