Sports mega-events, it is argued, can be understood as a key component in states 'soft power strategies, that is, their attempts to showcase their nations on the international stage, increase their power relative to others via non-coercive means and to increase trade and tourism. Many studies on soft power simply cite the concepts founder (Joseph Nye) and make little attempt at unpicking the mechanisms behind its creation. This volume does this by shining a light on emerging economies and by putting forward a soft power 'ideal type to aid researchers in understanding the strategies employed by states in advancing their interests. 000899116 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on August 26, 2019). 000899116 650_0 $$aHosting of sporting events$$xPolitical aspects. 000899116 650_0 $$aSports tournaments$$xPolitical aspects. 000899116 650_0 $$aPower (Social sciences) 000899116 7001_ $$aBrannagan, Paul Michael,$$eauthor. 000899116 7001_ $$aLee, Donna,$$eauthor. 000899116 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z9811379513$$z9789811379512$$w(OCoLC)1090976141 000899116 830_0 $$aMega event planning. 000899116 852__ $$bebk 000899116 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-981-13-7952-9$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000899116 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:899116$$pGLOBAL_SET 000899116 980__ $$aEBOOK 000899116 980__ $$aBIB 000899116 982__ $$aEbook 000899116 983__ $$aOnline 000899116 994__ $$a92$$bISE
