Description

Explore how the Olympic Games have transformed into the world's greatest media and marketing event in this critical examination by Jules Boykoff. This Routledge publication reveals how huge corporations compete for association with the Olympic Image, seeking worldwide marketing audiences of billions. Boykoff argues that contemporary Olympics function as a massive planned economy designed to shield the wealthy from financial risk whilst providing them with a spectacular global stage. By placing political economy at the centre of analysis and drawing on interdisciplinary research, this provocative study challenges conventional narratives about the Games. Part of the Routledge Critical Studies in Sport series, the book offers readers a comprehensive investigation into how corporate interests shape one of humanity's most celebrated sporting events and the broader implications for society, culture, and global commerce.
