    262 Gran Torino: Social and Security Implications of the XX Winter Olympic Games Chiara Fonio Giovanni Pisapia 263 This paper examines issues relating to the security of the XX Winter Olympic Games, which took place in Turin, Italy, from the 10 th to the 26 th of February 2006. In doing so it explores three crucial aspects of those Games, first, the general social context, second forms of resistance directed against the Winter Games and third the Integrated Security System (ISS) which was developed for and implemented at the sporting venues. This included installing a number of surveillance technologies that sought to address distinctive security concerns. Our aim is to emphasize not only the trend towards the securitization of mega-events at a national and international level, but to also understand some of the broader social implications of the Olympics. In the process, our work also contributes to the literature on the XX Winter Games which to date has tended to be quite thin and fragmented (Bondonio and Campaniello 2006a; Bertone and Degiorgis 2006). We have chosen to emphasize these factors because of some of the unique peculiarities of the XX Winter Olympics. One of the most important of these concerns the smaller scale of the Turin Games, which translated into a series of security measures that contrast with the typical overzealous security planning for mega events. So, this smaller scale meant that the security dynamics, surveillance practices and legacies tended to be more limited than the types of intensive security systems implemented in Athens (Samatas 2008) or Beijing (Boyle and Haggerty 2009: 266).
