London hosted the Olympic Games for the third time in 2012, a
mega-event where the political, economic and social expectations
could hardly be compared with the previous London Games of 1908 and
1948. In addition, the Olympic Games went back to Europe in 2012
after a long period where (apart from Athens in 2004) they were
held by cities in other continents. In London, the world watched
the Games. Continental Europe, however, generated a particular
attitude based on the special relations it had developed
historically with England. At the crossing point of history,
cultural studies and geopolitics, this book provides new insights
on the significance of the Olympic Games. It considers that the
Games are the right window to look at both the past and the current
relations between England and its closest continental neighbours.
It will be ideal for students and academics working in sport
sciences, cultural history, political science and European studies;
amateur and professional sports historians; Olympic followers and
experts in Olympic studies. This book was published as a special
issue of the International Journal of the History of Sport.
