The first summer Youth Olympic Games (YOG) were held in Singapore
in 2010 and the first winter Youth Olympic Games in Innsbruck in
2012. The IOC hopes that the YOG will encourage young people to be
more active and that they will bring the Olympic movement closer to
its original founding values. This is the first book to be
published on the Youth Olympic Games. It critically examines the
origins of the Games and the motives of the Games organisers, as
well as the organisation and management of the Games and their
wider impact and significance. The first part of the book discusses
the relationship between the YOG and the ideology of Olympism, in
the context of broader developments in youth sport competitions.
The second part investigates a wide range of managerial aspects
including the bidding process, finance, the prominent role of young
people on the organising committees and as volunteers, the role of
media and sponsors, and the distinctive competition structure. The
final part of the book assesses the current and likely future
impact of the YOG on the host cities and countries, the IOC and on
national youth sport policies. The Youth Olympic Games is essential
reading for any researcher, advanced student or policy maker with
an interest in Olympic Studies, sports development, sport policy,
youth sport or event management.
From the Olympic Games to community-level competitions, sports
events can be complex and pose a particular set of managerial
challenges. The Routledge Handbook of Sports Event Management
surveys the management of sports events around the world of every
size and scale, from small to mega-events, including one-off and
recurring events, and single-sport and multi-sport events. The book
adopts a unique stakeholder perspective, structured around the
groups and individuals who have an interest in and co-create sports
events, including organising committees, promoters, sport
organisations, spectators, community groups, sponsors, host
governments, the media and NGOs. Each chapter addresses a specific
stakeholder, defines that stakeholder and its relationships with
sports events, describes the managerial requirements for a
successful event, assesses current research and directions for
future research, and outlines the normative dimensions of
stakeholder engagement (such as sustainability and legacy). No
other book takes such a broad view of sports event management,
surveying key theory, current research, best practice, and moral
and ethical considerations in one volume. With contributions from
leading sport and event scholars from around the world, the
Routledge Handbook of Sports Event Management is essential reading
for any advanced student, researcher or professional with an
interest in sport management, sport development, sport policy or
events.

Elite youth sport competitions have increased significantly in
number in recent years, with the Youth Olympic Games representing
the high point of this phenomenon. This book examines the global
context within which elite youth sport has emerged and continues to
grow. It explores elite youth sport policy across fifteen
countries, in Europe, the Americas, Africa and Asia, addressing the
questions of how youth talent development is organised and why
elite youth sport has become so popular. Taking a comparative
global perspective, the book analyses the growth in more systematic
approaches to young athlete development and the increasing emphasis
on early talent identification. It discusses the attitude of
stakeholders (such as NGBs, governments and sponsors) towards elite
youth sport, while also considering how young elite athletes'
interests are protected and how the growth in elite youth sport
affects a sport's development strategy. Written by a team of
internationally renowned researchers, Elite Youth Sport Policy and
Management: A comparative analysis is fascinating reading for all
students, scholars, managers, policy-makers and coaches with an
interest in youth sport, elite sport development, talent
identification and sports policy.
