Olympic dreams : the impact of mega-events on local politics

Author:	Matthew Burbank; Gregory Andranovich; Charles H Heying
Publisher:	Boulder, Colo. : Lynne Rienner Publishers, 2001.
Series:	Explorations in public policy.
Edition/Format:	Book : EnglishView all editions and formats
Summary:	"What drives cities to pursue large-scale, high-profile events like the Olympic games? What are the consequences for citizens and local governments? Investigating local politics in three U.S. cities - Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Salt Lake City - as they vied for the role of Olympic host, this book provides a compelling narrative of the evolving political economy of modern mega-events." "The authors reveal how the mega-event strategy typically is initiated by a coalition of public and private elites; how citizen involvement is managed and often curtailed; and how latent development agendas are revived and refocused to leverage Olympic opportunities. In assessing the impact of mega-event-driven growth, they look beyond the tax revenues and stadium costs to offer a nuanced examination of the ways Olympic dreams affect local governance and social conditions in urban economics."--Jacket.  Read more...
