Opis

This is the first book to explore in depth the topic of Mega-Sporting Events (MSEs) and human rights, offering accounts of adverse human rights impacts linked to MSEs while considering the potential for promoting human rights in and through the framework of these events.

Recenzje

'Major sporting events should constitute safe and inclusive environments and experiences for athletes, fans, sponsoring organizations, and hosting communities. Achievement of these goals depends substantially upon informed collaborative efforts based upon shared understandings of the challenges posed. For those looking to understand how the organization and operation of major sports events work and where there are opportunities to bring about greater equality and justice, this book is an invaluable initial point of exploration of the issues involved and potentially corrective options.'

Harry Edwards, Professor Emeritus, University of California, Berkeley, USA, and Organiser of the 1968 Olympic Project for Human Rights

 

'Mega-Sporting Events impact communities, athletes, workers, fans, volunteers, journalists and children worldwide. Read this ground-breaking book - it’s an invaluable resource for all working to promote human rights in sports.'

Minky Worden, Director of Global Initiatives, Human Rights Watch

 

'This timely publication brings together a unique range of expertise from the worlds of sport and human rights and is a helpful primer for better understanding the social dimensions of sporting events.'

Andreas Graf, Head of Human Rights and Anti-Discrimination, FIFA

 

'This volume is the first to comprehensively chart the intersection between human rights and Mega-Sporting Events. Its combination of concrete case studies with general chapters covering different actors, processes and norms provides a very rich overview of the question and an in-depth introduction to the many challenges it raises. The book will certainly become the go-to resource for academics, practitioners and activists looking to get a better grasp of the role played by human rights in the context of MSEs.'

Antoine Duval, Senior Researcher, Asser Institute, Netherlands
