Description

From the Communist boycott to Peter Ueberroths free-market capitalism, the 1984 Los Angeles Games rebranded the Olympic movement. In celebration of its 30^th anniversary, this volume examines the global legacies of the LA Games, including the rise of Olympic commercialism, the shifting participation of women, new challenges to anti-doping enforcement, and the many complex ways politics merged with international sport. This book was originally published as a special issue of the International Journal of the History of Sport.
