摘要

在過去的二十多年來，越來越多西方學者逐漸開始在重視運動在歷史和社會之問的複雜關係。從他們的研究中可以瞭解到，他們已不再漠視運動在歷史和社會中的發展，並以更深遠的意義來追溯運動曾經所扮演角色與政治、經濟、權力、意識形態、信仰、傳統、文化之問的密切關係。從歷史上來看，英國的運動文化在許多英國的殖民地曾經扮演著文化控制與統治的重要功能。在本文中將（一）提出文化帝國主義的理論分析（二）探討運動與英國的文化帝國主義在其殖民下的南非、印度、愛爾蘭的發展與關係（三）強調體育運動是英國文化帝國主義的一種工具。最後本文的結論是：英國在過去不但製造了政治、經齊、軍事上的帝國主義，也製造了文化的帝國主義，並透過文化的力量來傳遞英國的觀念、信仰、語言、規則、嗜好、風俗、習慣等。

Over the last two decades, many Western writers have tried to situate the analysis of sport within the context of history and social development. Rather than viewing the development of sport in isolation, interests have been directed towards tracing its role in relation to politics, economics, power, ideology, religion, tradition and culture in the society. It is reviewed that in the history of British colonialism, the development of British sport has carried a significant function of cultural control and domination across colonies. In the following study, I will(1)provide a theoretically analysis on cultural imperialism(2)examine the inter-relation of sports and British cultural imperialism in South Africa, India, and Ireland(3)highlight the function of sport and physical education as a tool of British cultural imperialism. In the end, we will discover that the British cultural imperialism is not just a product of political, economical and military imperialism, but also of cultural imperialism through which her ideas, beliefs, language, rules, hobbies, custom, conventions and etc. are spread.
