ABSTRACT
This chapter reviews the general state of research on the topic forced migration and sport. It elaborates the position of the present book within the broader scientific context and relevant sociological research programmes on sport and migration. By describing the current knowledge about the studied matter, a comprehensive overview of what has been done in the field and what should be further investigated are provided. After locating this study within neighbouring disciplines, three systematic literature reviews on the topic forced migration and sport are presented for describing the narrow scientific discussion on forced migration and sport. A critical reflection on the state of research concludes this chapter.
