The legacy costs of delivering the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games through regulatory capitalism
The governance structure of the 2012 Olympic Games illustrates characteristics of ‘regulatory capitalism’ in which government awards an initial contract to deliver a project to a private-sector umbrella organisation. To deliver the 2012 Games, the London Organising Committee for the Olympic and Paralympic Games (LOCOG) is estimated to have awarded over 75,000 (sub)contracts to private companies. The government’s ability to make political interven…

Its results challenge the dominant social inclusion discourse in showing that volunteering provides social inclusion benefits beyond employabi…

The associations between the key variables of age, gender and employment experience and volunteers' initial motivations are analysed. Quantitative…
