  • How Sports Help to Elect Presidents, Run Campaigns and Promote Wars."
    Abstract: Daniel Matamala In this thesis for his Master of Arts in Journalism from Columbia University, Chilean journalist Daniel Matamala explores the relationship between sports and politics, looking at what voters' favorite sports can tell us about their political leanings and how "POWER GAMES: How this can be and is used to great eect in election campaigns. He nds that -unlike soccer in Europe or Latin America which cuts across all social barriers- sports in the sports help to elect United States can be divided into "red" and "blue". During wartime or when a nation is under attack, sports can also be a powerful weapon Presidents, run campaigns for fuelling the patriotism that binds a nation together. And it can change the course of history. and promote wars." In a key part of his thesis, Matamala describes how a small investment in a struggling baseball team helped propel George W. Bush -then also with a struggling career- to the presidency of the United States. Politics and sports are, in other words, closely entwined, and often very powerfully so.

    PROTEST AND SOCIAL MOVEMENTS Chiavacci, (eds) Grano & Obinger Civil Society and the State in Democratic East Asia East Democratic in State the and Society Civil Edited by David Chiavacci, Simona Grano, and Julia Obinger Civil Society and the State in Democratic East Asia Between Entanglement and Contention in Post High Growth Civil Society and the State in Democratic East Asia Protest and Social Movements Recent years have seen an explosion of protest movements around the world, and academic theories are racing to catch up with them. This series aims to further our understanding of the origins, dealings, decisions, and outcomes of social movements by fostering dialogue among many traditions of thought, across European nations and across continents. All theoretical perspectives are welcome. Books in the series typically combine theory with empirical research, dealing with various types of mobilization, from neighborhood groups to revolutions. We especially welcome work that synthesizes or compares different approaches to social movements, such as cultural and structural traditions, micro- and macro-social, economic and ideal, or qualitative and quantitative. Books in the series will be published in English. One goal is to encourage non- native speakers to introduce their work to Anglophone audiences. Another is to maximize accessibility: all books will be available in open access within a year after printed publication. Series Editors Jan Willem Duyvendak is professor of Sociology at the University of Amsterdam. James M. Jasper teaches at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York.

  • A Comparative Study of the Olympic Games in East Asia: the Nexus Between Politics and Sports
    아태연구 제22권 제1호(2015) A Comparative Study of the Olympic Games in East Asia: the nexus between politics and sports Soyoung Kwon* │Contents│ Ⅰ. Introduction - Harmony and Progress Ⅱ. Conceptual Frameworks 3. 2008 Beijing Olympic Games Ⅲ. Case Studies - New Beijing, Great Olympics 1. 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games Ⅳ. The Olympic Legacy of East - Japan rejoining the world Asia and Future Challenges 2. 1988 Seoul Olympic Games Ⅴ. Conclusion │Abstract│ East Asia has grown its importance in the field of international sports as host of series of significant mega-sports event, such as Olympic Games. These events are often blended with cultural and political dynamics of the Asia-Pacific region, exhibiting certain features specific to the region. A comparative study of Olympic Games in East Asia has demonstrated that they have been strongly state-centric and predominately attached to national identity and nationalism. Hosting of an Olympic Games often featured in the national agenda, and accompanied direct involvement of the state. Despite the vastly different aspirations and economic, political and social situations that the cities confronted when they bid for the Olympic Games, the case studies of the Seoul 1988 Olympic Games and the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games * Lecturing Professor, Faculty of International Studies, Chonbuk National University. 134 아태연구 제22권 제1호(2015) showed that the legacies tend to converge for the betterment of the host country and the society in general. Whereas the debut in the Olympic stage has been strongly state-centric in connection to national development, future Olympic Games in East Asia is likely to bring different vision, objectives, and expectation as the transnationalistic ideals and goals gain more importance in international sports movement.
