Our interest was piqued–we hadn’t heard much yet about the 2010 Asian Games. Here are a few of the things we found when we went looking… 1. As with the Olympic preparations in Beijing, there is massive construction, investment, and environmental management (not just cloud- seeding) underway in Guangzhou, according to Xinhua: Authorities are pumping in more than 58 billion yuan (8.5 billion U.S. dollars) to boost the transportation system and protect the environment as Guangzhou, capital of south China’s Guangdong Province, is preparing for the 16th Asian Games next November.

  • From Stadiums to Shuttle Diplomacy
    Pavgi and Kadaba: From Stadiums To Shuttle Diplomacy: Qatar’s Emergence as a Region largest iteration of the competition to date, with over forty-five countries competing in over forty sports.1 Doha was also one of the smallest cities ever to host the games; previous hosts, including Beijing and Bangkok, had populations larger than the state of Qatar. However, it was this announcement that began Qatar's transformation from an oil-rich Arab monarchy into a 21st century hub of international commerce and diplomacy. For Qatar, sports represented perhaps the best means to showcase its aptitude at balancing the complex acts of business, diplomacy, and culture. While major businesses saw Doha as a potential engine of growth in the future, it did not have, and still does not have, the economic gravity of major metropolises such as New York, London, or 2 Tokyo. For Qatari leader Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani, hosting a major sporting event would allow the government to demonstrate the progress the country had made towards modernization and economic development on a global stage.3 Using sports as the primary mechanism of diplomacy also made sense from a foreign policy standpoint. By itself, Qatar has little weight, both economically and militarily, in a region where powers such as Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Tran maintain a tenuous peace. Rather, Qatar's foreign policy strengths have come from the relationships it maintains with the West and the Arab world. It trades and conducts business with non-Islamic FROM STADIUMS TO SHUTTLE DIPLOMACY: countries such as the United States, while supporting the Islamic Wahhabi faith that also belongs to neighboring QATAR’S EMERGENCE AS A REGIONAL Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.
