      abstract = {Surveillance and security have historically served as  means by which to cope with the complexities of the  Olympics and the uncertainties these generate. Based on  empirically grounded analysis of fifteen Olympics starting  with Tokyo 1964 and through London 2012, contributed by  leading international researchers, the book develops the  notion of security meta-ritual. This is a meta-level of  framing which enables the organization and communication of  security as the adjustable sieve that uses surveillance to  select what is permitted to enter the world of Olympic  spectacle. In this way, it creates highly controlled  conditions under which the Olympics can be performed as  planned and without disruption.},
