The global geopolitics of sport is being transformed in and by East
Asia. Sport in recent decades has been avidly embraced by East
Asian nations, with implications both for their image on the
international stage and their domestic national identities. The
three post-war East Asian Olympic Games, the 'glittering' Guangzhou
Asian Games in 2010 and the march of Asia into the global sport
market illustrate the fact that a new global sports order has
emerged. This collection uniquely discerns the 'tectonic' shift of
global power in the geopolitical, economic, cultural and social
dynamics of sport from West to East. It also reveals 'that the
global empire of commerce' is similarly shifting eastwards. The
chapters, written by leading authorities on East Asia, widens the
focus, advances the knowledge and sharpens the appreciation of both
global sport and regional current transformation in the making and,
in doing so, contributes to an understanding of profound changes in
global sport. This book was originally published as a special issue
of The International Journal of the History of Sport.
