Events

This conference will take place a day after the conclusion of the London Olympic Games and will seek to analyse the salient features of the Games, its legacy in the short term, the historical and contemporary links between Olympism and issues of Real politik, the efforts of the Olympic movement to promote peaceful coexistence and intercultural understanding and the relevance of the Olympic movement in an age of hyper commercialism and mass media dominance.

It will seek to analyse the discrepancies between rhetoric and reality, and between theory and practice, and seek answers to the questions being levelled at the Olympic movement in recent times with regards to its continuing relevance.

Conference Themes

• Olympism and the Real politik;
• The immediate legacy of London 2012;
• High performance sport and issues of doping, commercialism and the Games;
• 24/7 media and the Olympic movement.
