What are the intended legacies of Beijing 2008 and what could be the consequences both intended and unintended? These are the questions that intrigue people both in China and around the world. This brief discussion, inter alia in a review, partially, but not exclusively, of the stated Beijing Organizing Committee of the Olympics Games (BOCOG) policies, their implementation and their putative possibilities for Chinese and the global society, seeks to chart the potential social, economic and political impact on Beijing and China and, indeed, the world, of hosting the world's largest sports event, and to reflect upon some of the intangible and tangible legacies that Beijing 2008 could bequeath to the host city, the host nation and the international community
