Social democracy and its relationship to sport

This thesis was written in the course of my political science studies and completed in 2018. The intention to deal with it is based on the fact that I am professionally active in both the political and the sporting field. Since 2003, I have been a full-time employee of the SPÖ in the field of adult education. Politically, I am a district councillor in the 17th district of Vienna, where I also specialise in adult education and sport. In my function as chair of the sports section of the SPÖ, I organised various sports events for several years, including the Vienna Running Cup, which in 2011 became the largest running series in the world with 31 individual events. As a second professional pillar, I would like to mention my work in the field of sports management. Among other things, I was club manager of the Wiener Sportklub, which plays in the regional league, in the 2007/08 season and club manager and vice-president of the First Vienna Football Club 1894, Austria's first football club, in the 2012 to 2014 seasons.
