“…However, the level of disrepair unintentionally draws attention to the urgent need for assistance, support and development. It is therefore important to recognize that as western researchers, located in a large nation state in the Global North our cultural understandings of sports provision could impact on the choice of photographs to take and our interpretations (Palmer 2013). Kay (2009) has drawn attention to the challenges that Global…”

“…Likewise, Collins (2010) clearly establishes the policy and theoretical dilemmas inherent in aspiring to follow other country's mass participation levels and associated programme development. We are also mindful to align to the research perspective of Palmer (2013) by not imposing western 'Orientalist' perspectives and policy understandings, frameworks and conceptual discourses onto the research project, data and subjectivities. Likewise Kay (2009) and Lindsay and Gratton (2012) argue for a decolonisation of knowledge, research and methodologies in developmental contexts.…”

“…Furthermore, with the global movement of policy and the concomitant ideologies, it is unsurprising that there is a level of resemblance (Palmer, 2013). However, implementation of the policy is potentially problematic if differences in economic, social, cultural and political contexts between the small states are not recognised at ministerial level, by the SRAC and emerging NECS (Collins 2010).…”

“…Equally, there has been a growing range of interest in the various aspects of government machinery and its influence on sports policy including 'the public value' of sport (Brookes andWiggan 2009, Sam 2011), modernization agendas (Houlihan and Green 2009), wider social policy goals linked to sport (Coalter 2007, Palmer 2013) and systems and factors in the development of elite sports talent (De Bosscher et al 2008, Houlihan 2009, Stotlar and Wonders 2006. However, in the context of this paper most of the focus on this literature has been on the larger, 'western' or Global North state economies (Palmer 2013).…”

“…However, in the context of this paper most of the focus on this literature has been on the larger, 'western' or Global North state economies (Palmer 2013). This imbalance is in part addressed through the research undertaken in this paper that considers the challenges and constraints of agenda setting and implementation of sports policy development in the small nation case of Antigua and Barbuda.…”

This paper examines the challenges and constraints of sport policy agenda setting and policy development in a small nation context of Antigua and Barbuda. It also aims to understand and explore existing limitations, issues and trajectories in sport policy implementation. The project draws upon a mixed methods approach encompassing documentary analysis, thirty in-depth interviews and visual methodology in the form of photo observations. Through this methodology, the purpose of the paper is to open up sport policy agendas allowing the 'voices' of those local populations, policy makers, coaches and volunteers to be heard within the context of this study and wider sport policy research. Initial findings indicate sport and physical activity as a contested policy priority, barriers in crossdepart m ent al collaboration, elite sport and performance agenda dilemmas and considerable limitations in third sector human infrastructure and physical facilities.Implications from this small nation sport policy context highlight the need for improved public policy problem definition and the need for clarity in agenda setting within tiers of the evolving sport policy community. Finally, the tentative potential positive policy spaces for future implementation and lessons in policy design involving national, regional and local actors and agencies are identified.

Four overlapping definitions of politics are presented (as institutions of government, social relations, decision‐making processes and outcomes) and the implications for the study of sport are examined. The implications of Lukesian and Foucauldian conceptualisations of power for the study of sport politics are discussed. The domestic and foreign policy motives for government involvement in sport are explored with particular emphasis on the sport as a nation‐building resource and as a soft power diplomatic resource. The entry concludes with the identification of a series of current research priorities which includes the analysis of government strategies of intervention in the policy area, the problem of accountability and governance in relation to international federations, and management of relations between sport organizations and commercial interests.
