A Political History of the Olympic Games
The turmoil surrounding the 1980 Olympic Games, says the author, was nothing new--it was merely the most recent, and most complex, manifestation of the political content of modern sport.

The Wests: Decline Management and Geopolitics
The ebbing power of the United States signals the end of the period in which a series of “Wests” have created, globalized, and dominated an international order. Each “West” has had its own norms of authority and coercive utopia, but they shared in common the projection of a sense of modernity, technical proficiency, and inevitable, invincible authority.

He is not alone in this. Maria Todorova's variation on Edward Said's “Orientalism” take on the same question, and edited volumes put together by Dušan Bjelić and Obrad Savić and by Raymond Detrez and Pieter Plas have also attacked the problem posed wh…

The Olympic Boycott in Diplomatic Context
The 1980 Olympic Games, scheduled for Moscow, would have been a major political event even without the Afghanistan situation. The desire of Taiwan.

Although previous hints at a boycott possibility were not popular, the boycott stimulated by the Afghanistan invasion was strongly supported by the United Sta…
