It focuses on topics such as globalization and the repositioning of the Gulf States in the global order, capital flows, and patterns of trade; specific challenges facing carbon-rich and resource-rich economic development; diversification, educational and human capital development into post-oil political economies; and the future of regional security structures in the post-Arab Spring environment.

  • 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.

  • The Impact of Sports Events on Urban Development in Post-Mao China: a Case Study of Guangzhou
    ABSTRACT THE IMPACT OF SPORTS EVENTS ON URBAN DEVELOPMENT IN POST-MAO CHINA: A CASE STUDY OF GUANGZHOU By Hong Chen The study on the relationship between sports and cities has proliferated among academics. However, research is mostly focused on developed countries such as the United States and Europe. What kind of impacts do sports events have on Chinese cities? Do sports-events influence post-Mao China differently than developed countries? Assessing the impacts that sporting mega-events have on Guangzhou, which will host the 16th Asian Game in 2010, this research reveals that China’s governments are the key actor in the process of bidding for and hosting mega-sports events. Cities in China have used this strategy to stimulate new district development instead of urban redevelopment. The city governments in China are pursuing sporting mega-events for infrastructure improvement rather than economic issues. The construction of new stadiums and infrastructure, environmental improvement, city image improvement and district development are positive outcomes; however, there is a lack of economic assessment. There is a need for the city to cooperate with the private sector, adopt public participation and to develop a cost-effective use of sports facilities after the sporting mega-events are over.

It’s rather about the many intangibles that make ‘WHERE WE ALL BELONG’ a great Games.” TRIBUNE NEWS NETWORK DOHA Qatar’s great desire and the Doha2030 Bid Committee’s emphasis on Doha’s sporting legacy, its vision for an Asian Games ‘Where We All Belong’, and the aim of unprecedented Asian legacy starting in 2021, backed by amazing and flawless presentations saw Doha emerge as a deserving destination for the 21st Asian Games.

    CB(2)1891/99-00(01) Paper for Home Affairs Panel ARRANGEMENTS FOR BIDDING TO HOST THE 2006 ASIAN GAMES AND FAR EAST AND SOUTH PACIFIC (FESPIC) GAMES FOR DISABLED ATHLETES INTRODUCTION This paper summarises the arrangements for bidding to host the 2006 Asian Games in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. We also describe the projected financial implications of hosting the Games, which include the cost of hosting the 2006 FESPIC Games. BACKGROUND 2. On 30 June 1999 the Legislative Council endorsed a motion moved by Hon Timothy Fok on “Providing major venues for sporting events”. During the debate, most Members expressed support in principle for a bid to host the Asian Games. Following a preliminary assessment by the Administration, on 20 November 1999 the Executive Council (ExCo) agreed that we should support the expression of interest which the Sports Federation and Olympic Committee of Hong Kong, China (SFOC) would submit to the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) for the hosting of the Games. 3. We reported to Members of this Panel on ExCo’s decision in the LegCo Brief on “Support for the Bid to Host the 2006 Asian Games” [Ref: HAB CS/CR 7/8/76(99)]. In making its decision ExCo took note of the considerable non-quantifiable benefits of hosting the Asian Games, namely – ! elevating Hong Kong’s status as a centre in Asia for hosting international sports events; ! giving Hong Kong people a chance to enjoy the pride and excitement of hosting such an international event; 2 ! encouraging Hong Kong athletes to improve their skills in the lead-up to the Games; and ! providing an opportunity for the community to showcase Hong Kong to the rest of Asia.

They are associated with the event organisers to bring out the unique identity of a nation and to gain credibility with the international community through the use of an emotional dynamic. Analysis proposes to illustrate how this event affected Qatar internationally as part of soft power as well as the structuring role it played locally.
