"SLPE" is mainly reserved for congress volumes, which are published in English and which give a general idea of international developments in sport and sport science. Apart from congress papers "SLPE" is open to further scientific reports, discourses and essays about sport and sport science.The papers in this volume summarize the results of a research project funded by the European Union focussing on racism, xenophobia and anti-Semitism in European football. Each chapter is written with a comparative perspective focussing not only on the specific situation in the country covered but also on policy initiatives to the theme.
