Book Synopsis Basic Documents of International Sports Organisations by : Janwillem Soek

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume deals with the non-governmental part of international sports law. Included are basic documents of an institutional nature, i.e. the Statutes/Constitutions, etc., of universal sports organisations. Two main categories of universal sports organisations are represented in this work: the international `umbrella' organisations, not limited to any single sport, and the so-called international sports federations which are organised for each branch of sport, insofar as they concern Olympic sports. The collection of documents was realised within the framework of the T.M.C. Asser Instituut's research project on international sports law and with the cooperation of the International Olympic Committee. It provides an invaluable source of reference for both legal practitioners, including courts dealing with sports-related cases, and the academic world. With the increase in public interest in the legal aspects of sports, this collection will prove a timely and welcome addition to the scarce collections of materials already available.

Book Synopsis The 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games by : Matthew Llewellyn
Download or read book The 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games written by Matthew Llewellyn and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-02 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games stand as the most profitable and arguably the most important event in the history of the modern Olympic movement. Fresh off the back of the financially disastrous Montreal Games of 1976 and the politically controversial Moscow Games of 1980, the Olympic movement returned to the United States for the sixth time in an attempt to salvage the economic viability and global prestige of the Olympics. The Los Angeles Olympics proved to be both provocative and polarizing. On the one hand they have been heralded as an overwhelming, transformative success, ushering the Olympic movement into the modern commercial age. On the other hand, critics have repudiated the Games as a manifestation of commercial excess and a platform for western political and cultural propaganda. In conjunction with the 30th anniversary of the Los Angeles Olympics, this volume examines their legacy. With an international collection of contributing scholars, this volume will span a range of global legacies, including the increasing commercialization of the Games, the changing participation of women, the Communist boycott movement, nationalism and sporting identity, and the modernization and California-cation of the Games. This book was originally published as a special issue of the International Journal of the History of Sport.

Book Synopsis Host Cities and the Olympics by : Harry H. Hiller
Download or read book Host Cities and the Olympics written by Harry H. Hiller and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rather than interpreting the Olympics as primarily a sporting event of international or national significance, this book understands the Games as a civic project for the host city that serves as a catalyst for a variety of urban interests over a period of many years from the bidding phase through the event itself. Traditional Olympic studies have tended to examine the Games from an outsider's perspective or as something experienced through the print media or television. In contrast, the focus presented here is on the dynamics within the host city understood as a community of interacting individuals who encounter the Games in a variety of ways through support, opposition, or even indifference but who have a profound influence on the outcome of the Games as actors and players in the Olympics as a drama. Adopting a symbolic interactionist approach, the book offers a new interpretive model through which to understand the Olympic Games by exploring the relationship between the Games and residents of the host city. Key analytical concepts such as framing, dramaturgy, the public realm, and the symbolic field are introduced and illustrated through empirical research from the Vancouver 2010 Winter Games, and it is shown how the social media and shifts in public opinion reflected interaction effects within the city. By filling a clear lacuna in the Olympic Studies canon, this book is important reading for anybody with an interest in the sociology of sport, urban studies, event studies or urban sociology.

Book Synopsis Watching the Olympics by : John Sugden
Download or read book Watching the Olympics written by John Sugden and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2012-04-27 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global sporting events involve the creation, management and mediation of cultural meanings for consumption by massive media audiences. The apotheosis of this cultural form is the Olympic Games. This challenging and provocative new book explores the Olympic spectacle, from the multi-media bidding process and the branding and imaging of the Games, to security, surveillance and control of the Olympic product across all of its levels. The book argues that the process of commercialization, directed by the IOC itself, has enabled audiences to interpret its traditional objects in non-reverential ways and to develop oppositional interpretations of Olympism. The Olympics have become multi-voiced and many themed, and the spectacle of the contemporary Games raises important questions about institutionalization, the doctrine of individualism, the advance of market capitalism, performance, consumption and the consolidation of global society. With particular focus on the London Games in 2012, the book casts a critical eye over the bidding process, Olympic finance, promises of legacy and development, and the consequences of hosting the Games for the civil rights and liberties of those living in their shadow. Few studies have offered such close scrutiny of the inner workings of Olympism’s political and economic network, and, therefore, this book is indispensible reading for any student or researcher with an interest in the Olympics, sport's multiple impacts, or sporting mega-events.
