PREFACE Over the past two decades the Institute of European Sport Development and Leisure Studies (IESF) has established the frame for studies on sport politics and leisure activities at the German Sport University Cologne. In 2011 the institute and its chair holder have been awarded a Jean Monnet Chair for sport politics. This 1st annual report – covering the period from August 2011 to July 2012 – introduces the reader to the teaching and research activities as well as the additional activities and services carried out by the institute and the chair holder. The new Jean Monnet Chair, which is dedicated to the linkage of sport and politics, will pro- vide in particular comprehensive teaching materials on sport in the European Union in order to explain and publicly disseminate the role of sport in transnational relations. In addition, the institute wishes to enhance the flow of information among students, academic researchers and the public. The Jean Monnet Chair aims at developing a better understanding of the European Union. One of our principal goals is to make students of the German Sport Univer- sity aware of the activities and projects of the institute. We hope that students and academics will find this report helpful in determining their course of study and will be furthermore in- spired to become actively involved in our projects. Questions and (critical) comments on this report are highly welcome and may be addressed to the Jean Monnet Chair.

LEITBILD/MISSION OF THE INSTITUTE The German Sport University Cologne (GSU) is Germany’s most important academic centre of teaching and research in physical education and sport science and one of the largest spe- cialised universities world-wide. With 19 scientific departments it covers a wide range of sport science in teaching and research. More than 30 sports are taught in theory and practice in modern facilities. Around 5,500 students, including 350 foreign students, are studying at the GSU, which offers academic bachelor’s and master’s degrees, teaching certificates for vari- ous school levels, and a doctoral degree. The Institute of European Sport Development and Leisure Studies and its newly established chair for sport politics work towards contributing to the European dimension of sport in particular. The ongoing interdependence of sport and other societal fields, the growing influence of governmental and non-governmental actors on the organisation of sport, its framework and the continuing Europeanisation and globalisation have increased the importance of sport politics. However, the development of a political science approach to sport and the formation of a particular branch addressing the broad range of sport-related political issues is still at the very beginning. Against this background, activities of the IESF aim to cooperate with national and interna- tional academics in order to bring together findings from political, social and sport sciences. The overall goal is to illustrate the specific core of sport political action by taking into account the three dimensions polity (structural-institutional), politics (procedural) and policy (content- related). For all dimensions it is important not only to consider the horizontal differentiation between federative autonomy and governmental regulation, but also the vertical
