The edited volume explains why sport mega events can be discussed
from the viewpoint of politics and power, and what this discussion
can add to the existing scholarship on political regimes,
international norms, national identities, and cultural narratives.
The book collects case studies written by insiders from different
countries of post-Soviet Eurasia that have recently hosted― or
intend to host in the future ―sporting events of a global scale.
Contributing authors discuss cultural, political, and economic
strategies of host governments, examining them from the vantage
point of an increasing shift of the global sport industry to
non-Western countries. Mega-events often draw domestic lines
of cultural and social exclusion within host’s polities. It is
these ruptures and gaps this volume explores, contributing to a
better understanding of the intricate interconnections between
global institutions and national identities.
