N2  - "Sporting mega-events habitually spawn protests from local groups discommoded by the building of new infrastructure, environmental lobbies contesting the long-term legacies of such events, and expressions of outrage at the expenditure of public funds on events often restricted to an elite selection of participants and spectators... The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue in The International Journal of The History of Sport."--Publisher's website
