    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

    LONDON 2012 A DECADE IN THE MAKING PRESS PACK BID MASTERPlan VENUES BRAND OVERlaY LegacY actiVation LONDON 2012 A DECADE IN THE MAKING PRESS PACK BID Populous has been involved in 10 Olympic Games and were the bid architects for 3 consecutive host city awards for the cities of London 2012, Glasgow 2014 and Sochi 2014. Our unique experience allows us to identify and optimise the use of the city and surrounding areas to create compelling and compact venue distribution plans for potential host cities. With our in-depth analysis, we work alongside bidding cities to provide a comprehensive proposal to organise the Games that will appeal to the IOC and other major competition committees. Since 2003's initial site exploration, Populous assisted the London 2012 bid team with in house architects who created the bid winning London wide sports masterplan. MASTERPLAN Our process of masterplanning begins with a long term legacy strategy as the starting point for creating vibrant and sustainable places within cities. We use sporting and entertainment venues as urban catalysts and develop the relationship between social infrastructure elements, and enhance them to add value and character to the urban realm. For the London 2012 Olympic Park our design approach was imbedded in our masterplanning, ensuring that the personal experiences of all Games time and legacy user groups were considered from their respective mode of transport to their seat within the venue. VENUES With more than a 1,000 projects completed globally, we open locations to the world – creating iconic venues that become a financial success. Our portfolio includes the design of 3 Olympic stadiums - Sydney 2000, Sochi 2014 and the London 2012 Olympic Stadium, which has already become the centre piece of the park and a catalyst for the urban regeneration of East London.

    Title: War by Other Means: International Sport Corruption as an Instrument of Statecraft Application: 5/1 Applicant: Mr Akaash Maharaj Global Organization of Parliamentarians Against Corruption (GOPAC) 1 Station A Toronto ON M5W 1A2 Canada [email protected] Tel: +1 (416) 995 3275 Application details: Category: Governance in sport: Change or be changed? -- Type: Other -- Keywords: corruption, diplomacy, international affairs, diplomacy, statecraft, crime, law enforcement, regulation, oversight, conflict of interest -- summary: Sport has become a key instrument of statecraft, as much as diplomacy, defence, or intelligence. To the extent that sport becomes captive to political corruption, it becomes an instrument to prop up tyrannies and to undermine the rule of law. Accordingly, there is a global public interest in establishing independent, democratic oversight of sport organisations\' compliance with legal and ethical standards. -- Abstract: The Global Organization of Parliamentarians Against Corruption (GOPAC) is a worldwide association of legislators who have come together to combat corruption, strengthen democracy, and uphold the rule of law. We have sixty national chapters and individual members in almost every parliament of the world. Historically, we have focussed on issues such as anti-money laundering, anti-corruption in public procurement, and anti-kleptocracy at the highest levels of the state. In recent years, however, we have become increasingly involved in the struggle for sport integrity.
