Migration and Nationalism. The Olympics and the International Trade with Athletes (eBook, PDF)

Beschreibung

Sports is part of human culture, and therefore plays an important role in society. It goes way back to ancient Greece, where sport was not only used for entertainment, but more importantly for a platform to socially exchange across country borders. With the extend of sports on international levels, it cannot be disconnected from politics and economics. Currently, the 'Fußball-Weltmeisterschaft 2022' is a perfect example for this. Various debates, of what each country should represent and stand for during this event, extend to levels on which people make statements of whether their nation should participate in the games at all or not. Qatar, once again, is centre with its LGBTQA+ politics that influence the whole globe and therefore massively society. In this book, economics and politics, as well as societal dynamics are discussed related to migratory aspects of the Olympics. Historical aspects, national identity and explicit examples, like Qatar's position, are critically analysed.
