Description
Summary:The aim of this paper is to examine the history of post-war sport policy with regard to community sport in Japan and the United Kingdom. Firstly, Ozaki investigates the history of sport policy in post-war Japan, especially the development of community sport promotion by various governments. Through this investigation, we identify that the idea of the development of community sport can be found in Ministry of Education policy documents as far back as 1946. However, this idea has still not become reality. Secondly, Kaneko investigates the history of sport policy in the post-war United Kingdom. Based on what was revealed by the analyses of policy documents published by the British government and the Sports Council, and previous studies, he describes the development of community sport policy in the post-war period, which he divides into five distinct periods. Adapted from the source document.
