Description

This Routledge Contemporary China Series volume examines the deep connection between politics and sport in China's development strategy. The book analyses how Chinese authorities leverage sporting mega-events such as the Olympics, Asian Games, and World University Games to advance Reform and Opening Up policies, strengthen national patriotism, and demonstrate China's global standing. Drawing on historical cases from the 1980s onwards, the work explores how Chinese cities have pursued these major international competitions and the complex interplay between central government support, local ambitions, and geopolitical objectives. The author elucidates the theoretical frameworks underpinning these bids whilst confronting the realities of implementation and competition on the world stage.
