Description: "Football constitutes a vivid public ritual in contemporary European culture through which emergent social solidarities and new economic networks have come into being. This volume traces the transformation of European football from the 1950s to the present, focusing in particular on the dramatic changes that have occurred in the last decade and linking them to the wider process of European integration."--Jacket.
