Description

Explore the massive impact of the world's most significant sporting event with Olympic Legacies: Intended and Unintended. Published by Routledge as part of the Sport in the Global Society series, this book examines how the Olympics moved beyond their Anglo-American origins to become a true global phenomenon. Since the 1930s, the Olympics have transformed into a mega-event that captures media attention, public interest, and the energy of nation-states. This text looks at the growth of the games through the lenses of politics, culture, economics, and education. It tracks how the event has been shaped by television broadcasting, global capital, and the drive for international prestige. Readers will gain a deep understanding of how these games have expanded into broader global realms. This book provides a detailed look at the massive scale of the modern Olympics and the various forces that have driven its development over more than a century.
