Post-Beijing 2008: Geopolitics, Sport and the Pacific Rim de J. a. Mangan

Post-Beijing 2008: Geopolitics, Sport and the Pacific Rim: Sport in the Global Society - Historical Perspectives

Editat de J. a. Mangan, Fan Hong
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 oct 2024
In 2008, as few in the world are unaware, China was host to the world via the Beijing Olympics. The world watched the metamorphosis of Beijing from insecure capital to confident metropolis but, aware of it or not, the world was also watching the symbolic assertion, via the Games, of a rising superpower.
The Pacific Rim will be the stage on which China initially displays its new hegemonic intentions, aspirations and ambitions. Thus in Post-Beijing 2008, the political, economic and cultural impact of Beijing 2008 on the geopolitical future of the Pacific Rim will be discussed. This perspective, analysed by some of the most distinguished academic commentators from some of the world's leading universities who are closely associated with the Pacific Rim (East and West), is original in focus and the analysis is pregnant with political possibilities.
This book was previously published as a special issue of the International Journal of the History of Sport.
