Abstract
This study examines the homogeneity and heterogeneity of elite sports development as a consequence of the internationalisation process in six nations (Belgium, Canada, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway and the UK). Nine policy areas or ‘pillars’ identified as important sports policy factors leading to international sporting success are compared. The findings suggest that elite sports policies are becoming increasingly homogeneous, but that there are considerable variations in each of the nine pillars.
