Description

Explore the connection between global sporting events and government strategy with The Olympic Games and Cultural Policy. Part of the Routledge Research in Sport, Culture and Society series, this book examines how cultural policies shape the design, management, and promotion of the Olympic Games. Author Garcia tracks the evolution of these policies through recent Olympic history. The text provides a specific evaluation of the cultural program used during the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games to show how policy choices impact an event. By studying these patterns, the book explains why major events often struggle to leave a lasting cultural legacy and why they sometimes fail to provide a meaningful experience for participants and viewers. This work is an essential resource for students and professionals interested in the intersection of sports management and cultural studies. It offers a deep look at how consistency in policy decisions determines the long-term impact of international sporting celebrations.
