Abstract :In comparing economic models of sport policy, which options are most apt to further sport politically, legally and financially? Against the backdrop of the question set, an analytical tool will be proposed involving the cross-tabulation of two options, one targeting sporting entitities, the other sporting activities. A ‘traditional’ sport policy approach will be identified (targeting sports NGOs which may often have been prequalified to receive public funding) and compared with an ‘alternative’ approach based on open calls for proposals, neutral evaluations and continuous evaluation exercises with no distinction made between different civil society stakeholders. The same analytical framework will be applied, subsequently, to questions linked to the recognition of sport, then to questions pertaining to the funding of sport by public authorities. The combined analysis of these two policy approaches will lead to policy reflections including on the role played by ‘soft law’.
