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.
