Pratica sportiva e lavoro sociale tra stato, mercato e comunità
Abstract
The essay reflects on the sport-based welfare mix transformations. Collected research high- lights the relevance of sport-system models and sportivization patterns. We debate the sport importance for innovation of social policies. At the same time, we emphasize the ambiva- lence of sport. Finally, the essay highlights the risks of mitopoiesis from an overestimation of the power of sport in the innovation of social policies.
