The focus of this edited book is on the critical, social-scientific analysis of international events, including public, private and voluntary sector festivals and spectacles. By doing so it concentrates on socio-historical, economic, political and cultural themes, in particular the issue of power, power relations and conflicts. This collection of essays will bring the social-scientific study of events, festivals and spectacles more into the core of the teaching of Events Management degree programmes.
Udo Merkel is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Sport and Service Management at the University of Brighton. He is part of the Events Management team and has a keen interest in the social-scientific study of the international events industry. In addition to researching and teaching sociological and political aspects of international sports events, he has published widely in the areas of comparative European studies and football cultures. He is currently preparing a book on the role of international events and festivals as a foreign policy and diplomatic tool.
