It argues that these patterns leave Asian sporting practices under-studied, and uses Indonesia’s badminton as a focal case. By contrasting existing research gaps in Indonesia with badminton’s national significance and international success, the work frames ethnicity and political dimensions within Indonesian badminton’s

within sociohistorical contexts”²—is now well established.However,theliterature suffers from two important and related defects.One of these defects is itsgeographical focus.As van Bottenburg notes in his study,Global Games,the scholarlyliterature on sport“is mainly limited to developments in the Western world.Information on the other continents is at best fragmentary,often collected in wide-ranging surveys.\"³In particular,relatively little has been written on sport and politicsin the Asian context.South Asia is perhaps best served,for reasons which arementioned below,but even here the coverage is slight compared with that of Europeand North America.  \nThe second defect is that the sports receiving the most attention areoverwhelmingly those of British or North American origin,and in which peoples fromthese two traditions are still dominant.Very little has been written on sports whereBritish people or Americans are not dominant,or at least major,participants.In part,  \nIndonesia 81(April 2006)  \nthis undoubtedly reflects the cultural and ethnic origins of most sports scholars.Butthere also seems to be an assumption that the important sports are the“universal”ones,and that the processes of globalization are reinforcing the position of these sportsat the expense of those with a narrower or more specific appeal.The description of theseries,Sport in the Global Society,notes that:  \nthe interest in sports studies around the world is growing and will continue to doso...[Sport]will continue to grow in importance into the new millennium as theworld develops into a“global village”sharing the English language,technology,and sport.⁴  \nThis series reflects this“global village”idea by focusing largely—but not,admittedly,entirely—on sports created by,and dominated by,Britons and Americans.  \nVan Bottenburg makes the same point when he argues:  \nBuoyed by Western international expansion,sports spread fast to all corners ofthe world.Wherever traders,migrants,and colonial officials settled,they set upsports clubs in order to meet other Westerners in foreign parts,to sustain culturalties with their mother country,and to relax after the day's work.⁵  \nIn the Asian context,most of the work that has been done follows this pattern byfocusing on sports that derived from the Anglo-American tradition and oftendiscussing these in the context of the impact of colonialism on sporting practice.InSouth Asian sports studies,the field is crowded with discussions of games developedby and dominated by the British.Cricket and soccer,of course,have attracted the mostattention.⁶  \nThese tendencies to neglect the sports of Asia and to
