  • America's Urban Crisis a Decade After the Los Angeles Riots
    America’s Urban Crisis a Decade After the Los Angeles Riots Peter Dreier The tenth anniversary of the April 1992 riots in Los Angeles—which left fifty- five people dead and caused more than $1 billion in property damage,the most costly in the nation’s history—sparked a small industry of reports and assessments by think tanks and the news media. During the week before the anniversary,reporters from almost every major newspaper were swarm- ing around Los Angeles,preparing their predictable ten-years-later stories. They asked the expected questions: Why did it happen? Has any progress been made? And as the British paper The Guardian headlined its story,Could it happen again?1 The Los Angeles Times published a weeklong series of front-page articles reviewing the day the riots erupted, assessing contemporary conditions in the riot corridor, and examining the current state of race relations in America’s most racially diverse city. Reporters interviewed academic experts, community activists, ordinary residents, business leaders, and others; and the paper spon- sored a public opinion poll to probe how Angelenos now felt about their city. But the paper’s most telling story was buried on page 20 on the day of the anniversary,April 29. The headline was “Tax Cut Clouds Bush’s Urban Agenda.” Bush came to Los Angeles that day to speak at a church-sponsored community development center at the 1992 riot’s epicenter,South Los Angeles—an area with almost 700,000 residents, bigger than most cities. Reporters might have expected him to announce a new initiative to address the nation’s serious urban problems,but instead he simply touted his most visible urban program— encouraging urban churches to sponsor social programs such as homeless shel- ters,food kitchens,and drug counseling.

We have a very special luncheon today on sports, both professional and amateur, the Olympics, baseball, and other subjects that our speakers wish to discuss today. Our first speaker will be Mr. Peter V. Ueberroth. He is well known, I think, to everyone in the room. He started his own travel business, a very successful business, subsequently accepted the position managing the Olympic Games in Los Angeles in 1984, one of the most successful this country or any other has ever had, and subsequently became Commissioner of Baseball. When we first contacted him about speaking today, we told him that we were seeking George Steinbrenner. After Peter had accepted, we talked with George.

  • Michał Marcin Kobierecki* BOYCOTT of the LOS ANGELES 1984
    POLISH POLITICAL SCIENCE YEARBOOK 2015, Vol. 44 PL ISSN 0208-7375 DOI: 10.15804/ppsy2015008 Michał Marcin Kobierecki* BOYCOTT OF THE LOS ANGELES 1984 OLYMPIC GAMES AS AN EXAMPLE OF POLITICAL PLAY-ACTING OF THE COLD WAR SUPERPOWERS ABSTRACT Sports boycott is one of the most important dimension of sport colliding with politics. The subject of the article is the boycott of the Los Angeles Olympic Games in 1984, one of the most spectacular boycotts, which was conducted by communist countries. It is widely recognized, that Los Angeles Olympics were boycotted as a result of a similar action by Western countries towards Moscow Olympics in 1980. However, evidence proves that there was no decision concerning com- munist boycott of Los Angeles Olympics until a few months before the Games. Preparations to the Olympics were on their way, but unexpected change of Soviet leader resulted in the boycott. Safety reasons were the declared reason for the boycott of the Soviet Union and 13 other communist countries. Nevertheless, it is evident that the real reasons were connected with the political game of USSR. The probable actual aims were the desire to hit the first ever privately financed Olympic Games and to make it harder for American president Ronald Raegan to be reelected. Naturally, at least partly it was also a matter of revenge for boycotting the Moscow Games. Keywords: Sports politics, sports boycott, Cold War rivalry, Olympic Games, politics * University of XXXX. 94 MICHAŁ MARCIN KOBIERECKI Sports boycott is one of the most spectacular examples of sport and politics colliding. States or respectively their leaders may derive political benefits from sport – through winning competitions or many medals on international sports events or through particular victories in prestigious contests.

  • An Analysis of the Political Economy of Bidding for the Summer Olympic Games: Lessons from the Chicago 2016 Bid By
    An Analysis of the Political Economy of Bidding for the Summer Olympic Games: Lessons from the Chicago 2016 Bid by Robert A. Baade and Allen R. Sanderson Abstract Chicago bid for, and was ultimately selected by the United States Olympic Committee (USOC), the right to become an applicant city to host the 2016 Summer Olympic Games. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) subsequently approved Chicago as one of four candidate cities. This paper examines Chicago’s ultimately failed bid in light of the multi-dimensional intersecting political and economic considerations on the part of the IOC, USOC, the Chicago2016 committee and the city as each pursued separate agendas shaped by their political economies. Disputes between the IOC and USOC relating to the appropriation of broadcast and sponsorship revenues and the character of Chicago’s bid in light of the commercial emphasis and character of the Games by previous host U.S. host cities played prominent roles in explaining Chicago’s failure. Other cities can learn from the Chicago experience, and this article is a primer on strategies applicant cities should avoid in the pursuit of Olympic gold. I. Introduction Rather from a simple change of heart, a way to deflect attention away from growing city-hall corruption scandals, or responding to the business community’s offering to front the bidding costs, in the summer of 2005 Mayor Richard M. Daley suddenly suggested that Chicago might consider seriously ―going for the gold‖ – competing for the right to host the 2016 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games.1 Thus Chicago was to join Houston, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Los Angeles to vie for the United States Olympic Committee’s (USOC) endorsement.
