Abstract

In the mass mobilisation of movements in recent years to tackle global inequalities, the sport-for-development and peace (SDP) movement, which at its core aims to use sport as a tool for development, has gained prominence. However, the term development in social science is one without a uniform definition. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to attempt to understand the meaning of development amongst academics within the SDP field in an effort to bring greater clarity around the ambiguous notion of development. Through interviews with six SDP experts, an attempt is made to conceptualise development within SDP.
