Deep culture, deep Kurultáj
The Kurultáj is a biannual Central Asian cultural festival that takes place in central Hungary. Rooted in the Turanism movement, which ethnically and historically links Hungarian culture to the ancient nomadic warriors of the Central Asian steppe, the Kurultáj is part cultural festival, part countercultural movement, and part populist political performance. This festival, along with Turanist ideology, was co-opted within Hungarian Prime Minister …
The Micronesian Games as Microcosm
The Micro Games have been held in the Oceanic sub-region of Micronesia every four years since 1990. Participants include five small states (Marshall Islands, Kiribati, Naura, Palau, and the Federated States of Micronesia) and two non-sovereign territories (Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands). These comprise seven of the fifty smallest states in the world, with a combined population of roughly half a million people. The Micro Games represent a …

During the last twenty years, and in various national settings, populist forms of leadership and governance have come to the fore, most notably among parties and people on the right of the political spectrum. Sport has thus beco…
The Cool Runnings Effect
As a pinnacle event in the global sporting calendar, the Summer Olympics have long been a site of flexible citizenship, whereby athletes sell their talents to the highest bidder. This trend in athlete labour migration has created transcultural national teams and threatened the legitimacy of the nation-state within the international sporting system. However, this trend has received little to no attention within the Winter Olympic context, in which…
