This book uses football as a lens through which to examine China's economic development, its political economy, and its political thought.Focusing on the Chinese Football Development Plan, this book opens up new perspectives on the concepts of hegemony, soft power, socialism with Chinese characteristics, and China's rise to the position of geopolitical superpower. Presenting a critical Marxist analysis of &quote;soft power&quote;, and drawing on Gramsci's conceptualisation of hegemony, this book argues that football can be seen as a resource for seduction and persuasion, and therefore as an instrument to be used in the &quote;hegemonic clash&quote;. Reflecting on the idea of soft power in relation to imperialism and ideology, and standing in contrast to prevailing Western orthodox analyses of Chinese development, this book shows how the &quote;Chinese Football Dream&quote; is a significant component of the &quote;Chinese Dream&quote; of &quote;rejuvenation of the nation&quote; and shows how football can help us to better understand the role of the state as an inducer of development and creative destruction.This is fascinating reading for anybody with an interest in sport policy, public policy, sport and society, football, development studies, political economy, or political thought.
