      abstract = {This book is the first comprehensive collection focusing  on the hosting of sports mega-events within Asia and their  impact on the politics, economics, and culture that shape,  and are shaped by, the local idiosyncrasies of host cities  and countries across this most culturally diverse  continent. From the Olympic Games and single sport World  Cups, to the Asian Games and their sub-regional variations,  an increasing number of Asian countries have rapidly  developed their capacity to host and mobilize large-scale  sports events as a cornerstone of their economic growth,  national identity formation, and international prestige.  This book sets out to fill a gap in the literature and will  be of particular relevance to those who are interested in  globalization, sports studies, political economy, cultural  studies, event management and policy, sociology, media  studies, and Asian studies.
