Dear all 
Welcome to the latest edition of social science Internet Update from
SOSIG http://www.sosig.ac.uk/

while we wait for our new improved service Intute
http://www.intute.ac.uk/development/
remember that we continue to 'blog new topics- at
http://www.sosig.ac.uk/subject-news/

here are some topical football sites from our Blog - plus some more
serious suggestions on sociology  of sport research! ( also in the blog
this week links to new social science and UK government publications and
suggestions for research on rendition flights and the September 7
review.)


World Cup research in the Social Sciences
<http://www.sosig.ac.uk/subject-news/?p=727> 
With the FIFA World Cup 2006 <http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/>  about to
kick off in Germany, a flurry of research about, tangentially related to
or unashamedly jumping on the football bandwagon has appeared online and
SOSIG <http://www.sosig.ac.uk/>  picks out the top scorers from the own
goals.
The World Bank <http://www.worldbank.org/> 's Private Sector Development
<http://rru.worldbank.org/>  knowledge service has brought together a
raft of items on the economic impact of Football, Sports and Development
<http://rru.worldbank.org/features/WorldCup2006.aspx>  reflecting how
success in football can affect a country's economy.
The ESRC <http://www.esrcsocietytoday.ac.uk/ESRCInfoCentre/>  draws our
attention to how some young men may be drinking their way through the
World Cup in an effort to compensate for not being man enough
<http://www.esrcsocietytoday.ac.uk/ESRCInfoCentre/PO/releases/2006/june/
mens_health.aspx?ComponentId=15473&SourcePageId=13404>  to play in it,
while emphasising that the way to prevent such young men from behaving
badly is to use low impact policing
<http://www.esrcsocietytoday.ac.uk/ESRCInfoCentre/PO/releases/2006/june/
hooliganism.aspx?ComponentId=15478&SourcePageId=13404>  with a friendly
but firm approach.
Elsewhere, the University of Warwick <http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/>  has
produced a series of podcasts on World Cup issues including how to
predict the winner
<http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/newsandevents/audio/?podcastItem=wcprediction
s.mp3> , the professionalisation of football management
<http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/newsandevents/audio/?podcastItem=wcmanagers.m
p3>  and David Beckham
<http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/newsandevents/audio/?podcastItem=wcbeckham.mp
3> 's role as a sporting icon.
Also new are blogs from the Labour Party with Sadiq Khan MP and Alastair
Campbell, http://www.labour.org.uk/index.php?id=worldcup
For some more indepth research. Try the following key research sites
where you will find full text documents.

Centre for the Sociology of Sport University of Leicester (amalgamation
of the Sir Norman Chester Centre and Centre for Research into Sport and
Society) 
http://www.le.ac.uk/so/css/

Research into Football Hooliganism and Policing UK
<http://www.sosig.ac.uk/redirect?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.footballhooligans.
org.uk%2F&rec=1021558702-14043>  
Description:  This web site is developed and maintained by Robin Manser
a lecturer and researcher with a large amount of experience in the area
of football hooliganism. Research carried out by Manser "has revealed
some interesting insights into the current myths that have been created
regarding the so called GB 'football hooligan' and the reality of such a
title." The site contains information on current research into football
hooliganism and well as links to related site

http://www.footballhooligans.org.uk/

<http://www.sosig.ac.uk/redirect?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.football-research.
bbk.ac.uk%2F&rec=1025626062-16963>

Another very useful source for Uk students to trace articles is: 

IBSS
<http://www.sosig.ac.uk/redirect?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.lse.ac.uk%2Fcollec
tions%2FIBSS%2F&rec=1120567640-27000>  
Alternative Title: International Bibliography of the Social Sciences
Description:  "The International Bibliography of the Social Sciences
(IBSS) includes over two million references to journal articles, books,
reviews and selected chapters dating back to 1951. IBSS focuses mainly
on the four core social science disciplines - anthropology, economics,
politics and sociology - but it also covers a range of interdisciplinary
subjects, such as development studies, human geography and environment
and gender studies. IBSS is especially strong on international material
with 25 per cent of references in languages other than English. Over
2,500 journals are regularly indexed and some 7,000 books included each
year. Abstracts are provided for over 60 per cent of all current journal
articles and links to full text are continually increasing. IBSS is
updated weekly". IBSS is funded by the Economic and Social Research
Council (ESRC) and has been produced by The London School of Economics
and Political Science (LSE) since 1989. IBSS is available free of charge
to students, researchers, faculty and staff at UK higher and further
education institutions, and you will require an Athens username and
password available from your home institution's library information
service for access. A list of all institutions that are currently
registered to use IBSS free of charge is provided on the website. A
comprehensive support and training section is provided, containing
leaflets, user guides, subject guides, tips on searching and details of
training materials and courses
