This book explores how cultural policies are reflected in the
design, management and promotion of the Olympic Games. Beatriz
Garcia examines the concept and evolution of cultural policies
throughout the recent history of the Olympic Games and then
specifically evaluates the cultural program of the Sydney 2000
Olympic Games. Garcia argues that the cultural relevance of a major
event is highly dependant on the consistency of the policy choices
informing its cultural dimensions. She demonstrates how major
events, such as the Olympic Games, frequently fail to leave
long-term cultural legacies and are often unable to provide an
experience that fully engages and represents the host community,
due to their over-emphasis on an economic rather than a social and
cultural agenda.
