Special issue editor: Paolo Rungo.

Within the framework of activities of the 10th Ibero-American Conference on Sports Economics (CIED10 - Barcelona, Spain, 12-14 June 2019), organised by the Spanish Society of Sports Economics (SEED), the European Journal of Government and Economics launched a call for papers on the role of institutions and governance in Sport. As a result, this Special Issue includes a selection of articles of relevance for researchers and professionals interested in the management and governance of sports organisations.

The European Journal of Government and Economics (EJGE) is an international academic journal for peer-reviewed research on all aspects of government and economics. EJGE is particularly interested in current issues regarding the interrelationship between the fields of government and economics, from the role of government and institutions in the economy to the economic analysis of policymaking. It is also interested in questions directly or indirectly related to Europe.
