Global sports events are rarely far from the public eye. Such
mega-events are about much more than the sporting competitions
themselves. They entail global exposure and intense struggles by
different stakeholders. This is the first book to examine sports
mega-events from a mobilities perspective. It analyses the 'mobile
construction' of global sports mega-events and the role this plays
in managing labour, imaginaries, policies and legacies. In
particular, the book focuses on the tension between the various
mobilities and immobilities that are implied in the process of
constructing a mega-event. It seeks to uncover the ways in which an
event is a series of fluid interactions that occur sequentially and
simultaneously at multiple scales in diverse spheres of
interaction. Contributions explore the dynamics through which
mega-events occur, revealing the textures and nuance of the complex
systems that sustain them, and the ways that events ramify
throughout the international system.
