Abstract

The aim of this article is to outline the status quo and prospects of sociology of sport in the context of radical change in Europe. The roles which the International Sociology of Sport Association (ISSA) and the European Association for Sociology of Sport (EASS) are playing with regard to the development of this discipline in Europe are shown. The integration of East European states into the EASS from the very beginning has anticipated the European unification process and has proved to be an identity-creating potential within sociology of sport in Europe. In this context new perspectives in scientific orientation and research activities (e.g. cross-cultural studies) on the European scene have evolved.
