I just published my book entitled History-Sociology-Politics of the World Karate Federation(IOC member). It is essentially a study of corrupt management within a lesser known member of the IOC, the World Karate Federation.I would like to present a summary of the BOOK as a panel paper at your Coventry conference. Can you let me know of the exact dates of the conference and if fellowships are available for travel expenses to the Conference.I am a retired professror of Pol. Science and my current research/writing interests are in corruption in the management of international sports and their federations.Thanks. Dr. Ravee
