Description

Explore the complex relationship between global sport and society with this academic collection from Routledge. Part of the Sport in the Global Society - Contemporary Perspectives series, this book looks past the popular rhetoric often used to justify massive sporting events. While these events are frequently presented as solutions for urban decline, obesity rates, and physical activity levels, this text examines the reality of their impact. Through a variety of case studies and research, the book investigates how major events are used for political gain. It challenges the idea of long-term legacy by analyzing whether these gatherings provide anything more than a temporary feel-good factor. By bringing together international scholars from different disciplinary backgrounds, this collection provides a deep look into how sport functions within the modern world. It is an essential resource for those studying the social and political dimensions of global athletics.
