Hosting the Olympic Games: Uncertainty, Debates and Controversy
provides a broad and comprehensive analysis of past Olympic and
Paralympic events, shedding critical light on the future of the
Games with a specific look at the upcoming Paris 2024 Olympics. It
draws attention to the debates and paradox that hosting the Games
presents for the contemporary city. Employing a range of
interdisciplinary theoretical and methodological approaches,
individual chapters highlight the various controversies of the
Games throughout the bidding process, the event itself and its
aftermath. Social Science-based chapters place strong emphasis on
the vital importance of sustainable strategy for contemporary host
cities. Along with environmental concerns whether atmospheric,
microbiological or otherwise, many other requirements, costs and
risks involving security and public expenditure among others are
explored throughout the book. Including a variety of international
and comparative case studies from a range of contributing
academics, this will be essential reading for students and
researchers in the field of Event studies as well as various
disciplines including Tourism, Heritage studies and Urban and
Environmental studies.
