Abstract
There is a general lack both of knowledge of social entrepreneurship related to sport and of policies for social entrepreneurship. The authors of this anthology have studied and evaluated different forms of sporting activity. On the basis of a large number of cases, they have formulated theses relevant to the understanding of social entrepreneurship in a Swedish context. The editors introduce the structure of the anthology and the content of each chapter.
