Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This is a multidisciplinary contribution to the burgeoning literature on and around mega-events in general and sports mega-events in particular. The volume is not specifically about mega-events or their management, but rather how such events act as a lens through which a number of important and critical questions about the decisions to host, the host nation, its society and the politics of culture, sport and leisure more broadly can be dealt with. In doing so this book seeks to build on, and out from initial work on (sports) mega-events by acknowledging the major shift towards emerging states awarded such events since 2006 and incorporating the latest advances in research that have taken place in recent years. For example, debates about what constitutes a mega-event, what is meant by a legacy, what is soft power and so on are dealt with from a team of leading academics from a variety of academic disciplines. This book was previously published as a special issue of Leisure Studies. This volume offers an up-to-date, multi-disciplinary contribution to the burgeoning literature on and around mega-events in general and sports mega-events in particular. With a focus on a variety of critical questions about the host nation, its society and the politics of culture, sport and leisure, this book acknowledges the major shift to emerging states being awarded such events.
