Towards a New Global Sporting Order
This conceptual article presents two systems of global sport governance: the Entertainment-Centric system and the State-Centric system. These systems have developed significantly since the beginning of the 21st century, particularly in Eurasia, and threaten the Olympic system that dominated global sport throughout the 20th century thanks to the increasingly strong preeminence of the Olympic Games. It shows how recent initiatives by Russia, China,…

The Integration of Eastern Asia in the Olympic System and its Challenges (1909–2024)
This article shows why and how the countries of the East of Asia gradually integrated over the last one-hundred years into the Olympic system founded in Europe. It shows how some countries of the Far East began to participate in the modern Olympic Games before the Second World War, first and foremost Japan, the Philippines and China, while developing their own regional games known as the Far Eastern Olympics in 1913 and then the Far Eastern Champ…
La lutte pour la gouvernance du sport mondial
En moins d’un siècle, d’un passe-temps réservé à quelques gentlemen amateurs en Europe, le sport est devenu un phénomène mondial qui concerne des millions d’hommes et de femmes de toutes origines, garçons et filles, sportifs de base, d’élite ou simples spectateurs. Il s’est développé grâce à des événements internationaux de plus en plus médiatisés comme les Jeux olympiques modernes. Trois types d’organisations ont lutté pour gouverner ce phénomèn…
The Century-Long Struggle for the Leadership of World Sport
In less than a century, sport has evolved from a hobby for a few European gentlemen into a global phenomenon involving people from all walks of life and of all ages. Media coverage of large sport events, especially the modern Olympic Games, has contributed greatly to increasing and widening sport's appeal and turning it into an activity enjoyed by countless millions of people of both sexes, whether grassroots participants, spectators or elite ath…
Does Country Attractiveness Matter in International Competition? The Case of Countries’ Bidding to Host Major Sports Events
A country’s attractiveness is a factor in its success in many areas of international competition, such as encouraging international investment, but its impact on international sporting events remains unexplored. Using various measurements of country attractiveness, statistical tests of the proposition that a country’s economic, social, and environmental attractiveness are correlated with its success in bidding to host international sporting event…
Dictionary of Event Studies, Event Management and Event Tourism
This Dictionary, produced by a distinguished and varied panel of international editors, is an invaluable reference for students, academics, practitioners, researchers, policy makers. For the first time, it compiles and defines a comprehensive glossary of terms used in the event-specific literature. Whilst many of these terms are commonplace, their usage in the events literature is often specific and in need of interpretation. Whilst there are num…
Winter Olympic Referendums
Projects to host the Olympic Winter Games have been subject to local referendums on at least 31 occasions, many more than for the summer Olympics. More than half of these referendums (18) have produced negative results, a phenomenon that has become more frequent since the turn of the twenty-first century. As a result, far fewer bids proceed to the final vote by members of the International Olympic Committee, which in turn has responded by changin…
Evolution of Professional Football Management in the People’s Republic of China from 1992 to 2016
In the early 1990s, the Chinese Football Association (CFA) introduced a reform of the football management system. The previous system was restructured into a new one that included professional and amateur football clubs, a number of football schools, and training centres. However, the football management system was still part of the administrative structure of the state at the national and local levels. In 2004, a new professional football league…
Switzerland’s Century-Long Rise as the Hub of Global Sport Administration
When the International Olympic Committee (IOC) set up its headquarters in Lausanne, in 1915, it could not have imagined the impact its decision would have on the administration of world sport. Three-quarters of Olympic sport’s world governing bodies have now followed the IOC’s lead and based themselves in Switzerland, thereby making the country the hub of global sport administration. The process that gave rise to this situation can be divided int…
Les retombées touristiques des Jeux Olympiques d’aujourd’hui
Cet article fait le point sur les retombées touristiques qui peuvent être attendues aujourd’hui de l’organisation des Jeux olympiques sur la ville hôte et son territoire. Il montre comment des retombées touristiques positives espérées justifient très souvent une candidature depuis les années 1980. Il s’attache ensuite à identifier quelques indicateurs pouvant mesurer ces retombées positives ou négatives en fonction de trois phases d’organisation …
From Olympic Administration to Olympic Governance
Routledge Handbook of Sports Event Management
This chapter provides an overview of the context of sport event security and of the various types of security agencies (local, national, international, public, and private organisations), and other related stakeholders involved in the planning and hosting of sport events. Following this overview, research associated with risk, sport event security, and safety is presented. The chapter concludes by providing suggestions for further reading and fut…
Le marketing olympique
Olympic Marketing
The Olympic Games have become the definitive sports event, with an unparalleled global reach and a remarkably diverse constituency of stakeholders, from the IOC and International Federations to athletes, sponsors and fans. It has been estimated, for example, that 3.6 billion people (about half of the world population) watched at least one minute of the Beijing Games in 2008 on television. The driving force behind the rise of the modern Olympics h…
The International Olympic Committee and the Olympic System
When the athletes enter the stadium and the Olympic flame is lit, the whole world watches. Billions will continue to follow the events and to share in the athletes' joys and sorrows for the next sixteen days. Readers of this book, however, will watch forthcoming editions of the Olympic Games in a completely different light. Unlike many historical or official publications and somewhat biased commercial works, it provides -- in a clear, readable fo…
Olympic Environmental Concerns as a Legacy of the Winter Games
The Olympic Winter Games are partly held in mountain resorts and are thus closer to nature, a fact that has frequently led them to encounter strong opposition from environmental organizations. This paper recalls these episodes and explores how the ideas of environmental protection and sustainable development have been slowly incorporated in the Olympic rhetoric. It shows how a set of environmental principles developed through the experiences of l…
The appropriation of e-mail and the Internet by members of the Swiss Parliament
As with the rest of Swiss society, the use of e-mail and the Internet by members of the Swiss Parliament dates back to the mid 1990s. This paper studies the appropriation of these two new information and communication technologies by Swiss MPs a few years later, at the beginning of the 21st century when most Swiss MPs published their e-mail addresses on the parliament website. The study is based on an Internet questionnaire that surveyed both the…
