Destination Development Through Sport Event Tourism (SET) in the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ)
The primary objectives of this study are fourfold. First, it aims to review the existing body of literature related to both tourism studies and the Korean DMZ, in order to establish a foundational understanding of current academic discourse. Second, the study seeks to identify critical factors that influence destination development through sport events and related forms of tourism, particularly within politically sensitive regions like the DMZ. T…

Tourism development in the Seychelles
Tourism is an important sector in many countries. For the Seychelles, it is the lifeblood of the economy. This article critically examines the Seychelles tourism sector. Using mainly secondary data available in the published material, it finds that most hotels and resorts are owned by foreign transnational hotel chains with a propensity to import personnel, technologies, food and drink. The consequences have been stunted by the growth of local bu…
Political Economy and Sport
Political economy refers to the interactions between economic, political, and cultural affairs. While modern economics and the role of politics is linked to Adam Smith and his Wealth of Nations , modern political economy emerged from the work of Karl Polyani. Political economy in sports examines the extension of capitalism's production–consumption relations to the development, politics, and economics of sports. In sports, political‐economic inter…

Beyond the reach of Fifa
The real legacy of the 2010 World Cup is that people in the focus areas of Cape Town, Durban and Johannesburg–Tshwane may have received some benefit from infrastructural development while much of the rest of South Africa has fallen further behind those globally projecting conurbations. Though the literature on sport and community development is growing rapidly as is work on legacy and mega events, there are few studies that examine initiatives ge…
American-British Sporting Rivalries and the Making of the Global Sports Industry
This article examines a key aspect of American sports history within a transnational context. Whilst the internal histories of American sport are exceedingly rich and voluminous, our general understanding of the nation's contribution to the international, global scene is less well-known. The postcolonial rivalries between American and British sports communities fuelled the development of what became open, international cup competitions in such sp…
Last Zulu Warrior Standing’
This paper explores the legacies of white South African cricketer Lance ‘Zulu’ Klusener. His childhood immersion in ‘Shakan culture’ on a Natal farm was said to imbue him with warrior prowess on the field. In Klusener's newly democratic country even township veterans of the People's War against apartheid, who associated cricket with racial tyranny, followed his World Cup exploits. So too did his rural Zulu fans in KwaZulu–Natal chiefdoms. Klusene…
Soccer around the World

How popular is soccer worldwide? Here’s one indicator: 3.2 billion people—nearly half of the planet’s population—tuned in to watch the 2010 World Cup on television. Soccer matches attract a gargantuan number of fans from around the globe due to the popularity of the sport itsel…

On neoliberal global sport and African bodies
This paper examines the intersection between history, colonialism, neoliberalism, postcolonialism and the African body in the context of sport, in an attempt to promote alternative ways of seeing which might move from an ‘Orientalist’ view to one of genuine mutual exchange. In order to get to that point, however, the themes outlined above are unpacked and it is demonstrated how they have worked to create and sustain economic inequality as well as…
Sport and the neo-liberal world order
Sport is a huge global enterprise worth nearly $150 billion annually. As a result international federations and other stakeholders are keen to maintain the veneer of integrity and morality in an idealized vision of sport. The value of sport and what it means to the operation of global sports federations and associated enterprises, most notably the International Olympic Committee (IOC); The International Federation of Football Associations (FIFA);…
Sport and Revolutionaries
This collection examines the role of sport in the lives of key revolutionary thinkers and leftist activists. In contrast to those who take a more romantic view of sport and believe in its apolitical nature, the chapters in this book help make clear how sport has served as a site for political activism and the revolutionary thought and practices of such individuals as Henry Mayers Hyndman, Vladimir Lenin, Fidel Castro, Ernesto 'Che' Guevara, Harry…
Sport in Australasian Society
As Sydney prepares to host the 2000 Olympic games, this study assesses the cultural impact of sport on the Australasian countries. Here, as in other parts of the world, sport is taken as an assertion of both individual and group identity, a demonstration of modernity and a source of personal, local and regional esteem. This collection explores the political, social and aesthetic influence of modern sport, attitudes to the body and the evolution o…
Sports around the World
This multivolume set is much more than a collection of essays on sports and sporting cultures from around the world: it also details how and why sports are played wherever they exist, and examines key charismatic athletes from around the world who have transcended their sports. Sports Around the World: History, Culture, and Practiceprovides a unique, global overview of sports and sports cultures. Unlike most works of this type, this book provides…

Fútbol as a source of national identity for many Argentineans has been documented by several scholars. Literature on how it represents the broader scope of Argentine society continues to develop.

Problems and Prospects for Community-based Tourism in the New South Africa
Mega-events such as the FIFA World Cup or the Olympic Games are promoted widely for the economic, tourism and social benefits they bring to host nations. The relative ‘benefit’ of such events has been widely debated. However, even when positive benefits are achieved they are vastly uneven within host nations. The Olympic Games are held in one city with occasional events located elsewhere, while the World Cup is usually held in several cities with…

Changes to the organization of, and commercialism in, the Barclay's Premier League in England have made clubs attractive to international investors.

Global games
During the past three decades sport has assumed an ever greater role within the globalisation process and in the regeneration of national, regional and local identities in the postcolonial and global age. With much of global culture displayed by the media, events, particularly significant sporting ones such as the Olympic Games or the soccer World Cup, have become highly sought after commodities as developed countries, and increasingly some leadi…

A Besieged Tribe
South African society has been in a state of tremendous changes in recent years. These changes have been seen by many whites as a threat to their society and 'way of life'. South African rugby success through its national team, the Springboks, has been one of the most potent sites for the demonstration of white power and cultural identity. This paper explores actions of white rugby fans on South Africa's return to international rugby against thei…

A hapless attempt at swimming’
One of the most powerful images to emerge from the pool at the Sydney 2000 Olympics was that of Eric Moussambani from Equatorial Guinea who swam his heat of the 100-meter freestyle alone after the other two swimmers in his heat were disqualified. Moussambani completed the distance over one minute slower than eventual gold medallist Pieter van den Hoogenband. The media coverage of Moussambani's performance illustrates that the discourses of coloni…
