The Triple Asian Olympics - Asia Rising available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Realpolitik as a component of the Olympic Games held in East Asia has been largely ignored by historians. However, sport was an integral part of cultural diplomacy and the expression of national prowess for the three Games held in East Asia: 1964 Tokyo, 1988 Seoul and 2008 Beijing. It is time this was recorded. The Olympic Games had transformational political, economic and cultural effects for the host cities and countries. This also is a neglected topic. The Triple Asian Olympics: Asia Rising explores the realities of global transformation, regional ascendancy and metaphorical modernity of the East Asian Olympics and, by extension, East Asia. As the axis of global geo-political and economic power shifts to the East, analyzing the significance of the Olympic Games in East Asia becomes significant to an understanding the shifting nature of the nations of East Asia. The Triple Asian Games are harbingers of dramatic geopolitical change. This is the first study to record, confront and examine this contemporary phenomenon. For this reason, this unique collection promises to attract a wide readership. This book was originally published as a special issue of The International Journal of the History of Sport.

The Triple Asian Olympics - Asia Ascendant available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The Triple Asian Olympic Games - Asia Ascendant: Media, Politics and Geopolitics is the companion publication to The Triple Asian Olympics: Asia Rising - The Pursuit of National Identity, International Recognition and Global Esteem. It deals, uniquely, with the role of the modern media in the global projection of Tokyo 1964, Seoul 1988 and Beijing 2008 as representatives of the advance of Asia on to the political world stage and as harbingers of Asian nations as increasingly prominent players in future geopolitics. Through the modern media these nations have been promoted via advanced communication technology imaginatively and impressively. The image of Asia has been embedded in minds across the globe as advanced, dynamic and progressive by means of a sports mega-event that had caught the attention of an international audience. Media analysts consider a range of Olympic media strategies that thrust Asia before the eyes of a global audience and discuss the overtones and undertones of the powerful role of the modern media in transforming the image of Asia by way of the Olympic Games and its equally powerful role in projecting Asian assertions of advanced modernity, confident nationalism and future geopolitical purpose.

The Asian Games: Modern Metaphor for ‘The Middle Kingdom’ Reborn available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The premise of The Asian Games: Modern Metaphor for ?The Middle Kingdom? Reborn - Political Statement, Cultural Assertion, Social Symbol is emphatic. The Guangzhou 2010 Asian Games was a metaphor for hegemony and renaissance. China crushed the other Asian nations with the massive weight of its Gold Medal ?haul? and demonstrated regional self-confidence regained. The huge accumulation of gold medals emphasized that once again China stood apart, and above, other nations of Asia. China's reaction and the reactions of the other Asian nations are explored in The Asian Games. There is another premise in the publication that the ?Chinese? Asian Games were a harbinger of a wider dominance to come: geopolitically, politically, militarily, economically and culturally. And there is a further issue raised by the Guangzhou Asian Games- the continuing determination of the Asian nations to mount a distinctive Games that is Asian and resistant to the cumbersome gigantism of the Modern Olympic Games. Asia now has the wealth to promote, present and project a global sports mega-event with an Asian identity and in an Asian idiom. This Collection is unique in focus, argument and evidence.This book was published as a special issue of the International Journal of the History of Sport.

Download and read online ebook The New Geopolitics of Sport in East Asia write by William Kelly. This book was released on 2015-09-07. The New Geopolitics of Sport in East Asia available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The global geopolitics of sport is being transformed in and by East Asia. Sport in recent decades has been avidly embraced by East Asian nations, with implications both for their image on the international stage and their domestic national identities. The three post-war East Asian Olympic Games, the ‘glittering’ Guangzhou Asian Games in 2010 and the march of Asia into the global sport market illustrate the fact that a new global sports order has emerged. This collection uniquely discerns the ‘tectonic’ shift of global power in the geopolitical, economic, cultural and social dynamics of sport from West to East. It also reveals ‘that the global empire of commerce’ is similarly shifting eastwards. The chapters, written by leading authorities on East Asia, widens the focus, advances the knowledge and sharpens the appreciation of both global sport and regional current transformation in the making and, in doing so, contributes to an understanding of profound changes in global sport. This book was originally published as a special issue of The International Journal of the History of Sport.
