It is also closely related to the issue of governance, the subject of previous Council of Europe studies. The Enlarged Partial Agreement on Sport (EPAS) decided to explore the concept of autonomy in greater depth by studying the conceptual, political, legal, economic and psycho-sociological aspects of the subject. This study was carried out at the request of the EPAS by the Swiss Graduate School of Public Administration (IDHEAP) on the basis of a questionnaire sent to public authorities in charge of sport and to national and international umbrella sports organizations. In addition to an analysis of the data obtained, documents produced by public authorities and sports organizations on this emerging issue are presented.--Publisher's description; France; Germany; Hungary; Italy; Netherlands; Switzerland; World Anti-Doping Agency; Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA); European Olympic Committees (EOC); Union of European Football Associations ER -
