Description

Explore the intersection of sports and international politics with The Triple Asian Olympics - Asia Rising. This scholarly work examines how the 1964 Tokyo, 1988 Seoul, and 2008 Beijing Olympic Games served as tools for cultural diplomacy and national identity. While historians often overlook the role of Realpolitik in East Asian sports, this book records how these events acted as expressions of national prowess. Readers will learn about the transformational political, economic, and cultural effects these Games had on their host cities and nations. The text looks at the realities of global transformation and regional ascendancy through the lens of the Olympic movement. It is a necessary addition for those studying the history of sport in a global society and the rise of East Asian influence on the world stage.
