Description

This comprehensive collection examines Olympic legacy through social scientific perspectives, drawing on research from Beijing, Vancouver, Athens, London and Rio de Janeiro. Fifteen researchers from six countries contribute critical analyses that explore the anthropological, political, and sociological dimensions of Olympic legacy debates. The book identifies the recurring rhetoric that has characterised legacy discussions whilst examining the harsh realities that often contradict aspirational claims. By combining specialist analyses with selected case studies, this work illuminates both the promises and complexities of Olympic legacies, offering readers a nuanced understanding of how host cities experience and manage the long-term impacts of hosting the Games.

Key Features

The Olympic Legacy examines five major Olympic Games through the lens of contemporary social science research and theory.

Contributors from six different countries provide diverse geographical and cultural perspectives on Olympic legacy challenges.

The collection analyses the gap between legacy rhetoric and actual outcomes experienced by host communities.

This Routledge publication explores anthropological, political, and sociological dimensions of Olympic hosting impacts.

The book addresses contemporary issues in social science by connecting Olympic studies to broader academic debates.
