They link the analysis of tourism and sport to wider public policy and economic development debates, applying economic analytical techniques to sport and leisure in a novel manner and charting the development of new tools which enhance our understanding of the economic contribution of these important activities. A number of the papers contained here focus on the extent to which sporting and leisure activity can further regional and national governments' aspirations for economic development, and at what cost. Two of the papers refine economic impact methodologies to better account for the impacts of discrete sporting and cultural events or facilities, using a high level of primary input data, and placing of the results firmly within the local economic development context. Meanwhile, other papers establish the complex socio-economic outcomes of major sporting events and examine their impact upon different sections of society. The most recent paper applies the precepts of the 'new economic geography7 to sporting activity to establish whether sport-related development and interactions are likely to fulfil the 'best-case' principles of this now widely accepted model of economic development. Several papers reference my contribution to the critical development of Tourism Satellite Accounting techniques in nations and regions, in order to measure the economic contribution of visitor activity in a consistent and comparable manner.

Introduction The papers presented in this submission are representative of the research undertaken by the author focussing upon the analysis of recreational and sporting activity as economic phenomena. The published works have tied the analysis of tourism and sport to wider public policy and economic development debates; applied analytical techniques to sport and leisure in a novel manner; and furthered the development of new tools which enhance the understanding of the economic contribution of these important activities. The scholarly contribution of my research programme is reflected in publications in some of the leading journals. Both Regional Studies and Environment and Planning A are top-rated worldwide journals, A+, on the Vienna University Economics and Business Administration (WIEN) measure, and these journals, along with Urban Studies, have ranked extremely highly on the ISI Social Sciences Journal Citation indices over a number of years. Meanwhile, the policy relevance of my work is underlined by my key involvement in the development of analytical tools for tourism economics at the regional and UK-national scale, and its inclusion in materials produced by the World Tourism Organisation. Much of the economic analysis of sport and leisure is crude and partial, relying upon techniques which have long been superseded or greatly refined in other areas of economic analysis. Moreover, the data which underlies some analysis is often lacking in quality or out-of-date (Allnutt, 2004; Hiller 1998). Given the substantial level of public funding for tourism and sporting facilities and activities in recent years and the rapid growth of related activity, the lack of high-quality analysis of these activities as economic phenomena is a serious public policy problem (Boyle, 1997). Thus, a number of the papers contained here focus on the extent to which sporting and leisure activity can further regional and national governments' aspirations for economic development, and at w hat cost. 3 The papers contained herein adopt a variety of approaches to the analysis of sports i and tourism. Two of the papers (3) (6) seek to refine economic impact methodologies to better account for the impacts of discrete sporting and cultural events or facilities, using a high level of primary input data, and placing of the results firmly within the local economic development context Meanwhile, papers (7) (8) establish the complex socio-economic outcomes of major sporting events and examine their impact upon different sections of society. Further papers examine whether the long experience of public subsidy for sports infrastructure in North America has any lessons for European governments (5) (see Baade,1995), and report upon projects which substantially improved the statistical evidence base for policymaking in tourism at both UK-national and regional scale ((3) and see also Jones et al, 2004; Jones (2005)). The most recent paper applies the precepts of the 'new economic geography' to sporting activity to establish whether sport-related development and interactions are likely to fulfil the 'best-case' principles of this now widely accepted model of economic development (1) (see Lovering, 1999). The following section of this paper reflects on how sport and tourism are currently analysed, highlighting the problems with current approaches. Sections 3 and 4 establish the scholarly contributions of the papers submitted. Section 3 shows how the submitted works contextualise sporting and tourist economic activity within wider

    This paper is a post-print of an article published in Social Dynamics 29:1 (2003): 27-48. The definitive version is available at: http://www.africanstudies.uct.ac.za/downloads/29_1farquharson.zip Transforming the Springboks: Re-imagining the South African Nation through Sport 1 Karen Farquharson and Timothy Marjoribanks Abstract Nation-building occurs not only through the creation of formal institutions, but also through struggles in cultural and symbolic contexts. In apartheid South Africa, the rugby union Springboks both symbolised and institutionalised a racially based form of ‘bounded citizenship’. In post-apartheid South Africa, the Springboks have emerged as a contested and significant site in the attempt to build a non-racial nation through reconciliation. To explore these contests, we undertook a qualitative thematic analysis of newspaper discourses around the Springboks, reconciliation and nation-building in the contexts of the 1995 and 1999 Rugby World Cups. Our research suggests, first, that the Springboks have been re-imagined in newspaper discourses as a symbol of the non-racial nation-building process in South Africa, especially in ‘media events’ such as the World Cup. Second, we find that there are significant limitations in translating this symbolism into institutionalised practice, as exemplified by newspaper debates over the place of ‘merit’ in international team selection processes. We conclude that the media framing of the role of the Springboks in nation-building indicates that unless the re-imagination of the Springboks is accompanied by a transformation in who is selected to represent the team, and symbolically the nation, the Springboks’ contribution to South African nation-building will be over.
