Social Capital and Civic Competence – Social and political integration achievements by sports clubs

Project description

General objective of the research project is a systematic exploration of the key theories on the social and political integration achievements by sports clubs on a theoretical and empirical level. Against the complex horizon of discussions about clubs as “generators of social capital”, “radiators of cognitive-procedural civic competence” and “greenhouses of habitual civic competence”, the research project focuses on analyzing the key theories concerning integration-related achievements by various types of clubs on a theoretical and empirical level.
