À quoi sert un évènement sportif ? Présentés comme ayant des effets sociaux, plusieurs manifestations - et parmi eux les prestigieux Jeux olympiques - légitiment leur intérêt en raison des retombées sociales et culturelles qui leur seraient liées. C'est dans cette perspective que, depuis la fin des années 1990, nombre de compétitions sportives ont capté la notion d'héritage. D'abord mobilisée de manière formelle, elle est devenue un élément majeur de toutes les candidatures. Derrière les discours, il apparaît néanmoins difficile d'identifier les retombées effectives et censées être consubstantielles à l'évènement

This book offers a comprehensive overview of current debates on the influence of the Olympic Games on cities, urban policies and the governance of global cities, making a valuable contribution to the fields of Olympic studies and urban studies. Historically, Western cities such as Paris, London, and later Los Angeles, have been the primary hosts of the summer Games. However, the link that existed between the world metropolises of the last century and the Games has deeply changed. Growing concerns about the Games' costs and environmental impact have prompted a shift in the expectations of candidate cities and the International Olympic Committee (IOC). This evolution favours more modest bids, and a resurgence of global cities and historical Olympic host cities within the Olympic landscape. This book is an essential resource for researchers in Olympic studies, urban studies, and all those involved in the planning of these events. Alexandre Faure is Associate Researcher at the France-Japan Foundation of the EHESS. His research focuses on the study and analysis of the influence of the Olympic Games on cities, as well as on the link between global cities and the Olympic Games. .

"During the Cold War, political tensions associated with the division of Germany came to influence the world of competitive sport. In the 1950s, West Germany and its NATO allies refused to recognize the communist East German state and barred its national teams from sporting competitions. The construction of the Berlin Wall in 1961 further exacerbated these pressures, with East German teams denied travel to several world championships. These tensions would only intensify in the run-up to the 1968 Olympics. In Bidding for the 1968 Olympic Games, Heather L. Dichter considers how NATO and its member states used sport as a diplomatic arena during the height of the Cold War, and how international sport responded to political interference. Drawing on archival materials from NATO, foreign ministries, domestic and international sport functionaries, and newspapers, Dichter examines controversies surrounding the 1968 Summer and Winter Olympic Games, particularly the bidding process between countries to host the events. As she demonstrates, during the Cold War sport and politics became so intertwined that they had the power to fundamentally transform each other"--

Universitaire, expert ou journaliste, une dizaine d’observateurs portent le regard du géographe sur les impacts géopolitiques et territoriaux du phénomène olympique, de l’échelle mondiale au local. À l’heure des Jeux de Londres (2012) et de l’échec d’Annecy 2018, ils proposent un ouvrage très documenté et vivant, reposant sur des études de cas précis issues de recherches originales, des témoignages et des enquêtes de terrain.
