AN OVERVIEW OF SOME RECENT PERSPECTIVES ON THE SOCIO-ECONOMICS OF SPORTUniversité Claude Bernard, France This article identifies different socio-economic approaches to sport: the influence of economy on social behaviour; the impact of social behaviour on the economy; and the interactions between economy and society. It argues that these perspectives are based on three major disciplinary orientations: the economic sociology of sport; the sociology of rational (sporting) choice; and the economy of bounded rationality. However, it is shown that these three disciplinary fields do not constitute a unifying paradigm.
