Rethinking Olympic Legacy

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book shifts the focus from legacy as a retrospective concept concerned with what has been left behind after the Olympic Games to a prospective one, interested in the actions and interactions stimulated by them. It challenges our current understanding of legacy and reveals the potential of Olympism as a powerful catalyst for social change.
