Book excerpt: "It appears to be possible to embed sport, constructively, in the multiplicity of migration processes that accompany European integration in a way which goes beyond inept slogans about sport being understood in all languages or doing Germany good. The European project initiated by the Freiburg Institute for Sport and Sports Science has taken on this task and is endeavouring, by the use of models, to consider the "troubles of the plains" (Brecht) within the contexts of universities, school sport and organised sport, and to enact the intricacies in tangible form, for project Europe, which is still a project of elites. The European Union's eastward expansion, to Germany's neighbours, Poland and the Czech Republic, was an important motivational factor for the project. Direct project partners were universities in Germany, France, Poland and the Czech Republic."--P. 4 of cover.
