Mega-Events and Globalization

By Richard Gruneau

0 - Default Title
Description
There has been a trend for urban "mega events" to be awarded to cities in the East and Global South. The book examines the ambition for spectacle that has emerged from these nations, exploring the theoretical and conceptual issues associated with this trend, from the critical political economy of mega-events in a changing world order to the social issues and contested legacies of mega-events in the East and Global South. This book also explores questions of governance, corporate power and the State, and 'living' the mega-events, from celebration to opposition and resistance.
