Description

Explore the history and impact of one of the largest multi-sport events in the world. Officially beginning in 1951 in Buenos Aires, the Pan-American Games have grown to include thousands of athletes from across the western hemisphere. This volume provides a scholarly look at the Games as a single entity, a perspective that has been missing from previous studies. This book examines how the Games serve as a way to spread the Olympic Movement throughout the Americas. It also looks at the event as a stage for competing ideologies regarding Pan-American unity. Beyond the sports themselves, the text covers how hosting these Games can lead to economic development and infrastructural stimulus for host cities. Whether you are studying sociology, history, or sports science, this Routledge publication offers a deep look into the social and economic role of international competition in the global society.
