Description

Explore the complex relationship between global capitalism and massive sporting spectacles. This Routledge publication examines the social, political, and economic consequences that arise when nations host major events like the Olympics and the FIFA World Cup. While much existing literature focuses on developed nations, this book provides a fresh perspective by concentrating on the socioeconomic impacts within the Global South. Through a detailed case study of the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, the text investigates how large-scale infrastructure and international competition affect local populations. It specifically looks at the perceptions of residents in Porto Alegre to understand how these global events change their daily lives and local economies. This book is a necessary resource for students and researchers interested in the intersection of sociology, economics, and global sports culture.
