Overview:Mega-Events and Social Change: Spectacle, Legacy and Public Culture - Globalizing Sport Studies - The spectacle of major cultural and sporting events can preoccupy modern societies. This book is concerned withcontemporary mega-events, like the Olympics and Expos.Using asociological perspective Roche arguesthat mega-events reflect the major social changes which now influenceour societies, particularly in the West, andthat theseamount to a new'second phase' of the modernization process.Changesare particularly visible in the media, urban and global locational aspects of mega-events.Thushesuggests that contemporary mega-events,both in their achievements and their vulnerabilities, reflect, in the media sphere, the rise of the internet; in the urban sphere, de-industrialisation and the growing ecological crisis;and in the global sphere, the relative decline of the West and the rise of China and other 'emerging' countries.
