Tarnished Rings
In the revised edition of this book, originally published in 2011, the authors update their study of the response of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to the bid scandal that erupted in 1998 in the lead-up to the Salt Lake City Olympics in 2002. The original text is largely left intact. The revised material includes a new epilogue and a foreword by Richard Pound, the long-time IOC member from Canada who served as a key source for the orig…
Contesting the Olympics in American Cities
Community Attachment and Voting for School Vouchers
Objective The analysis of public support for school voucher programs has focused on economic self‐interest and has paid little attention to the role of community. We propose a model of support for school vouchers that focuses on community attachment. We theorize that areas with growing residential populations will have less community attachment and be more supportive of school voucher programs while areas with long‐established residents will have…
Assessing public attitudes on the retention and use of residual newborn screening blood samples
Contextualizing Olympic Legacies
This article examines the making of Olympic legacies. All cities bidding to host the Olympics after 2012 are now required to describe sports and non-sports legacies in their bid books, and this will become a consideration in awarding the Games. A review of the literature on the impacts of hosting the Games and on conceptualizing Olympic legacies shows that both have advanced in recent years. Yet an examination of the aftermath of hosting the Olym…
Concerns of Newborn Blood Screening Advisory Committee Members Regarding Storage and Use of Residual Newborn Screening Blood Spots
Objectives. We assessed attitudes and opinions of members of newborn blood screening (NBS) advisory committees regarding the storage and secondary research use of residual specimens from NBS. Methods. We conducted focus groups in 2008 and 2009 with NBS advisory committees (4 focus groups; n = 39 participants) in the Mountain States region (i.e., AZ, CO, MT, NM, NV, TX, UT, and WY). Results. Participants identified several challenges to implementi…
Neopluralism
Neopluralism: The Evolution of Political Process Theory. By Andrew S. McFarland. Lawrence: University Press of Kansas, 2004. 208p. $35.00 cloth, $16.95 paper. Pluralism and its advocates once dominated the study of American politics. And by staking out a strong positivist position on the fundamental issue of political power in their battle with elite theorists, pluralists also influenced the discipline of political science as a whole. Yet, in con…
Mega-events, Urban Development, and Public Policy
As cities compete for jobs and capital in the context of limited federal aid and increasing global economic competition, a new and potentially high-risk public policy strategy for stimulating local economic growth has emerged. This megaevent strategy entails the quest for a high-profile event to serve as a stimulus to, and justification for, local development. How and why do American cities commit their resources to seeking a mega-event? And, if …
Olympic Dreams
What drives cities to pursue large-scale, high-profile events like the Olympic games? What are the consequences for citizens and local governments? Investigating local politics in three U.S. cities—Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Salt Lake City—as they vied for the role of Olympic host, this book provides a compelling narrative of the evolving political economy of modern megaevents. The authors reveal how the megaevent strategy typically is initiated b…
Olympic Cities
As cities compete for jobs and capital in the context of limited federal aid and increasing global economic competition, a new and potentially high-risk strategy for stimulating local economic growth has emerged. This strategy, called the mega-event strategy, entails the quest for a high-profile event to serve as a stimulus to, and justification for, local development. We examine how the mega-event strategy has played out in the three US cities w…
Antigrowth Politics or Piecemeal Resistance
Regime theory predicts that opponents of a regime’s pursuit of economic development will have limited prospects for success. Some scholars, however, contend that evidence of widespread growth control movements poses a challenge to regime theory. The authors assess the viability of growth opponents when confronting an active growth regime under conditions that should enhance the prospects for the development of an antigrowth movement by examining …
Antigrowth Politics or Piecemeal Resistance? Citizen Opposition to Olympic-Related Economic Growth
Explaining Contextual Effects on Vote Choice
