  • Sport in Asia: Globalization, Glocalization, Asianization
    7 Sport in Asia: Globalization, Glocalization, Asianization Peter Horton James Cook University, Townsville Australia 1. Introduction Sport is now a truly global cultural institution, one that is no longer the preserve of occidental culture or dominated and organized by Western nations, the growing presence and power of non-occidental culture and individual nations now makes it a truly globalized product and commodity. The insatiable appetite for sport of the enormous Asian markets is redirecting the global flow of sport, with the wider Asia Pacific region now providing massive new audiences for televised sports as the economies of the region continue their growth. This chapter will consider the process of sport’s development in the Asian and the wider Asia Pacific context through the latter phases of the global sportization process (Maguire, 1999). As the locus of the centre of gravity of global geopolitical power is shifting to the Asia Pacific region away from the Euro-Atlantic region the hegemonic sports are now assuming a far more cosmopolitan character and are being reshaped by Asian influences. This has been witnessed in the major football leagues in Europe, particularly the English Premier League and is manifest in the Indian Premier League cricket competition, which has spectacularly changed the face of cricket world-wide through what could be called its ‘Bollywoodization’(Rajadhyaskha, 2003). Perhaps this reflects ‘advanced’ sportization (Maguire, 1999) with the process going beyond the fifth global sportization phase in sport’s second globalization with ‘Asianization’ becoming a major cultural element vying with the previously dominant cultural traditions of Westernization and Americanization? This notion will be discussed in this paper by looking at Asia’s impact on the development of sport, through the three related lenses of: sportization; the global sports formation and, the global media-sport comple.

  • Fact Sheet for Mso Cos 2015: Partnering More Agencies
    FACT SHEET FOR MSO COS 2015: PARTNERING MORE AGENCIES 1. The Municipal Services Office (MSO) is partnering three additional agencies, namely the Building and Construction Authority (BCA), the Singapore Land Authority (SLA), and the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) from 1 April 2015. The partnership aims to: a) increase the types of municipal services covered by MSO; and b) strengthen MSO’s network of agencies, so as to seek greater improvements in municipal service delivery. 2. BCA, SLA and URA, in total, managed around 700 municipal cases every month, as indicated in the table below. Examples of these municipal issues include those caused by construction activities and illegal parking. [More information on the types of municipal services these three agencies handle is found in Annex A.] Average No. of Municipal Cases Handled by BCA, SLA and URA in 2014 Average no. of municipal cases Agency per month BCA 200 SLA 200 URA 300 3. The partnership will commence on 1 April 2015, with BCA, SLA and URA adopting MSO’s service standards, which includes an escalation protocol that surfaces complex cases to partner agency’s senior management and MSO’s attention. This way, complex cases, particularly those requiring inter-agency coordination, are closely tracked and followed through. 4. This is to be followed by the linking of the three agencies’ feedback management systems to MSO’s integrated municipal feedback management system, a central IT platform that facilitates monitoring, coordination and timely resolution of feedback cases across agencies. The full system integration is targeted to complete by end 2016. 1 5. With these three agencies on-board, MSO will now have a total of 11 partner agencies, including existing ones like the Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority of Singapore (AVA), the Housing & Development Board (HDB), the Land Transport Authority (LTA), the National Environment Agency (NEA), the National Parks Board (NParks), the People’s Association (PA), PUB, and the Singapore Police Force (SPF).
