Description

Beijing 2008: Preparing for Glory examines China's Olympic moment through the lens of international scholars and sinologists, exploring how the Beijing Olympics functioned as both a political assertion and statement of national intent. This Routledge publication brings together expert analysis of global reaction to the Games, tracing ideological currents reaching back to 1949 and the profound political, social, cultural and economic transformations that shaped China's Olympic bid. The book contextualises the Beijing Olympics within China's anticipated emergence on the world stage, offering readers insight into how a nation used sport as a platform for expressing its vision of the Chinese Century. Essential reading for those interested in the intersection of sport, politics and contemporary China.
