      abstract = {"This book offers the first, full academic analysis of the  Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup. Adopting an international  relations perspective, the authors critically interrogate  the politics and controversy that has surrounded arguably  the most controversial sports event ever. In doing so, this  text offers up an imperative examination of Qatar's desired  objectives through their investment in global sport and  sports events, as well as provides readers with an academic  explanation on why major event hosts - such as Qatar -  receive so much international scrutiny in the pre-event  stage of the event hosting process. On the back of this  international scrutiny, this text also provides the first  full analysis on how such negative scrutiny has forced  Qatar to implement various social-political changes at  home."--},
