This book examines the impact of the 2008 Beijing Olympics and
the 2012 London Olympic Games and highlights the latest findings in
the areas of sport policy, elite sports system, sport media, sport
facility management and sport social development in the two host
countries - China and Britain. It identifies the role of national
and local governments, universities and educational institutions in
the delivery of elite sport in different cultural and social
settings. Aspects of the elite sports system are also analysed,
such as elite athletes' training and education, athletes' rights
and welfare both during and after an athlete s career. Finally, the
book considers the legacy of the Olympic Games in the areas of
sport participation, public diplomacy, education and cultural
communication in Europe and China.
This book was originally published as a special issue of "The
International Journal of the History of Sport.""
