Rezensionen
"Bajc's edited collection, Surveilling and Securing the Olympics, provides a series of critical insights into the complex relationships between sports organisations, the government and military arms of the state, business interests, the media, spectators and the general public. ... this text offers much to an under-researched and under-theorised field of research that is rapidly gaining the attention of academics and policymakers alike." (Neil King, International Journal of Sport Policy and Politics, Vol. 8 (4), 2016)
