From the West: Elite sagepub.com/journalsPermissions.nav DOI: 10.1177/0193723509358971 Basketball Development in http://jss.sagepub.com the People’s Republic of China Barrie Houlihan,1 Tien-Chin Tan,2 and Mick Green1 Abstract The article examines the engagement of the People’s Republic of China with global sport using basketball as an example. Following a discussion of the priority given to national elite team sport success in contemporary China, the article explores the range of mechanisms that facilitate sport globalization and focuses particularly on evaluating the utility of the concepts of policy transfer and lesson drawing. The examination of the concepts is achieved through the exploration of a series of questions relating to recent developments in basketball in China, including how the need for reform of the domestic system was recognized and articulated, who was instrumental in transferring policy, which countries were identified as suitable exemplars, and which policies were transferred. The article draws on data collected from a number of sources, including official government documents, news media, and a series of interviews with Chinese officials from key governmental organizations. The article concludes that the concepts of policy transfer and lesson drawing provide significant insight into the process of China’s engagement in basketball, and identifies a series of tensions arising from the process that affect contemporary sport policy.

  • Comparison of the Current Situation of China and the United States Sports Brokerage Industry
    2020 3rd International Conference on Economic Management and Green Development (ICEMGD 2020) Comparison of the Current Situation of China and the United States Sports Brokerage Industry Song Shuang1, a, * 1China Basketball College, Beijing Sport University, Xinxi Rd,No.48, Beijing, China [email protected] *corresponding author Keywords: sports brokerage industry, China-US comparison, athlete brokerage, policy suggestion Abstract: By comparing the current status of the development of sports brokerage in China and the United States, this paper displays the common issues, addresses the existed short comes of China’s sports brokerage, and gives some advices. This paper mainly compares three aspects, the industry itself, athlete brokers, and relevant commercial events. From the perspective of the industry itself, the Chinese sports brokerage industry has relatively low requirements on the education qualifications of employees, training attaches importance to theory rather than practice, and the qualification certification mechanism is not yet complete. In terms of policies and laws, China has not yet made national unified legislation on sports brokerage. As for the scope of business, the business content only stays on some of the most basic and primitive brokerage forms and does not connect well with other industries. From the perspective of athlete brokerage, the transfer of Chinese players is still government-led and the market is less liquid. The professionalization of athletes under the national system is not complete. Athletes develop their own intangible assets through the brokerage industry, which often conflicts with the interests of the overall economic development of their units. From the perspective of commercial events, the current number of commercial events in China is increasing, and the events involved are more extensive, but the number of events operated through the domestic brokerage industry is still small.
