Such policies embody a country’s choice in developing one or several sports. They can grant a great deal of autonomy to various federations (as in the US and Great Britain); devote significant public resources to sports for political purposes (as in Russia and other dictatorships); or insulate publicly financed sports institutions from partisan politics in order to ensure continuity (as in Italy and France).
这类政策体现在一国选择发展一项或几项体育运动中。其形式包括给予众多体育协会很大的自治权（如美国和英国）；动用公共资源根据政治目的培养强项（如俄罗斯和其他独裁国家）；或将公共资金支持的体育机构与党派政治相隔离以确保连续性（如意大利和法国）。
