View a list of the latest free articles available from International Journal of Sport Policy and Politics The International Journal of Sport Policy and Politics has three inter-related aims: to stimulate scholarly debate about the role, significance and impact of public policy on sport to encourage critical analysis of sport policy and the sport policy process to publish articles that are theoretically rigorous and of interest to both scholars and practitioners Editorial StatementThe International Journal of Sport Policy and Politics aims to publish articles that address all aspects of sport policy irrespective of academic discipline. Articles that adopt a multi-disciplinary, inter-disciplinary or comparative approach are particularly welcome. The Editorial Board is especially keen to encourage the submission of articles that cover one or more of the following five broad themes: theoretical contributions to analyses of the policy process for sport which draw upon and develop current macro and meso level theories and analytic frameworks the development of robust, evidence-based empirical research on the impact of sport policy the role and influence of national and sub-national government in relation to sport policy. At the national/federal government level this would include both the utilisation of sport to achieve a range of non-sport objectives such as those related to economic, social, cultural and diplomatic objectives as well as policy focused more sharply on sport outcomes such as improved elite performance and increased participation. At sub-national/local level this theme would include the use of sport to help fulfil community social and economic objectives as well as the role of regional and local government in providing sport opportunities. the significance of government, for example as regulator, resource provider and competitor, for the operation of commercial, semi-commercial, and not-for-profit/voluntary clubs, leagues and national sports organisations/national governing bodies, and the development activities of these organisations. the role of transnational government organisations, such as the EU, the World Anti-Doping Agency, UNESCO, Council of Europe, and NGOs, such as the International Olympic Committee and the major international federations, in relation, for example, to the regulation and development of sport. "Sport policy is assuming greater importance at local, regional, national and international levels. There is increasing recognition of the social and economic benefits of sport and policies and government initiatives to exploit these benefits are being implemented and monitored. Sports events are increasingly being supported by governments at local, regional and national levels. Other government policies and laws impact directly on sport, such as child protection, the education curriculum, and government expenditure. The time is therefore right for the International Journal of Sport Policy and Politics - which will help in the process of exploring the way sport policy is constructed and delivered, and its effects on relevant communities."Peter Taylor, Sheffield Hallam University, UK8220;This is a much needed journal. The knowledge produced in the sports sciences seldom reaches decision-makers in forms they can use to identify issues, consider a full range of policy alternatives, and assess current and past policies.International Journal of Sport Policy and Politics provides a forum for presenting issues and research-based discussions that will lead to more fully and critically informed policy decisions at all levels of sport organization.8221;Jay Coakley, University of Colorado, USADisclaimerTaylor & Francis makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the "Content") contained in its publications.

The International Journal of Sports Marketing and Sponsorship is one of the world’s leading journals for the sports marketing industry.

International Journal of Strategic Property Management is a peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary journal which publishes original research papers. The journal provides a forum for discussion and debate relating to all areas of strategic property management. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following: asset management, facilities management, property policy, budgeting and financial controls, enhancing residential property value, marketing and leasing, risk management, real estate valuation and investment, innovations in residential management, housing finance, sustainability and housing development, applications of information technologies in property management, mathematical methods in property management, international comparisons and developments, theoretical and conceptual frameworks for strategic property management, etc. All submissions are subject to review by two independent referees.

This Journal is established with a view to cater to increased awareness for high quality research in the seamless integration of heterogeneous technologies to formulate bankable solutions to the emergent complex engineering problems.Assurance engineering could be thought of as relating to the provision of higher confidence in the reliable and secure implementation of a system’s critical characteristic features through the espousal of a holistic approach by using a wide variety of cross disciplinary tools and techniques. Successful realization of sustainable and dependable products, systems and services involves an extensive adoption of Reliability, Quality, Safety and Risk related procedures for achieving high assurancelevels of performance: also pivotal are the management issues related to risk and uncertainty that govern the practical constraints encountered in their deployment. It is our intention to provide a platform for the modeling and analysis of large engineering systems, among the other aforementioned allied goals of systems assurance engineering, leading to the enforcement of performance enhancement measures. Achieving a fine balance between theory and practice is the primary focus. The Journal only publishes high quality papers that have passed the rigorous peer review procedure of an archival scientific Journal. The aim is an increasing number of submissions, wide circulation and a high impact factor.

The objectives of IJTM are to develop, promote and coordinate the science and practice of technology management. It also aims to help professionals working in the field, engineering and business educators and policy-makers to contribute, to disseminate information and to learn from each other's work. The international dimension is emphasised in order to overcome cultural and national barriers and to meet the needs of accelerating technological change and changes in the global economy.
