Download or read book The Ideals of Global Sport written by Barbara J. Keys and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2019-04-19 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Sport has the power to change the world," South African president Nelson Mandela told the Sporting Club in Monte Carlo in 2000. Today, we are inundated with similar claims—from politicians, diplomats, intellectuals, journalists, athletes, and fans—about the many ways that international sports competitions make the world a better place. Promoters of the Olympic Games and similar global sports events have spent more than a century telling us that these festivals offer a multitude of "goods": that they foster friendship and mutual understanding among peoples and nations, promote peace, combat racism, and spread democracy. In recent years boosters have suggested that sports mega-events can advance environmental protection in a world threatened by climate change, stimulate economic growth and reduce poverty in developing nations, and promote human rights in repressive countries. If the claims are to be believed, sport is the most powerful and effective form of idealistic internationalism on the planet. The Ideals of Global Sport investigates these grandiose claims, peeling away the hype to reveal the reality: that shockingly little evidence underpins these endlessly repeated assertions. The essays, written by scholars from many regions and disciplines and drawn from an exceptionally diverse array of sources, show that these bold claims were sometimes cleverly leveraged by activist groups to pressure sports bodies into supporting moral causes. But the essays methodically debunk sports organizations' inflated proclamations about the record of their contributions to peace, mutual understanding, antiracism, and democracy. Exposing enduring shortcomings in the newer realm of human rights protection, from the 1980 Moscow Olympic Games to Brazil's 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Rio Olympics, The Ideals of Global Sport suggests that sport's idealistic pretensions can have distinctly non-idealistic side effects, distracting from the staggering financial costs of hosting the events, serving corporate interests, and aiding the spread of neoliberal globalization.

Download or read book The Politics of the Internet in Third World Development written by Bert Hoffmann and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-10-01 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the political and developmental implications of the new information and communication technologies (NICT) in the Third World. Whereas the concept of the "digital divide" tends to focus on technological and quantitative indicators, this work stresses the crucial role played by the political regime type, the pursued development model and the specific configuration of actors and decision-making dynamics. Two starkly contrasting Third World countries, state-socialist Cuba and the Latin America's "show-case democracy" Costa Rica, were chosen for two in-depth empirical country studies.
Download or read book A Righteous Smokescreen written by Sam Lebovic and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2022-05-10 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the years immediately after World War II, the United States broadcast to the world not just its power but its values. Sam Lebovic here focuses on one of those professed ideals: the free flow of information. That trope became a proxy for America's special brand of imperial democracy, and it both abetted and constituted the spread of American culture and values worldwide. By studying visa and passport policy, funding for educational exchange and school construction, the purchase of land for embassies, the rights of international correspondents, and other mundane matters, Lebovic reveals globalization as a consequence of "quotidian world-ordering," not of high-minded abstractions like liberal internationalism"--
Download or read book Knowledge Management written by Hans-Christoph Hobohm and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2011-08-08 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is a widely accepted that Knowledge Management constitutes a key asset for the information professional. Management theory has always pointed to the fact that libraries and librarians in particular play an important role in an organization (be it an enterprise, a city, or a society as a whole). The papers collected in this volume demonstrate why and how - from the libraries' perspective. They discuss some fundamental implications of Knowledge Management as a key activity area for libraries, analyse key issues and instruments and give some best practice examples. Among the contributing authors the reader will find Larry Prusak, James Matarazzo, Michael Koenig, Rafael Capurro, Susan Henczel, Irene Wormell and Rainer Kuhlen. The book brings together eighteen important texts for the topic not only from IFLA workshops and conferences but also from other sources such as the SLA (Special Libraries Association). The inclusion of several original contributions makes this reader essential for all concerned with the future role of the library in business and society.
Download or read book Internet Governance and the Global South written by A. Bhuiyan and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-05-29 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A welcome addition to Palgrave's Global Media Policy and Business series, Internet Governance and the Global South documents the role of the global south in Internet policymaking and challenges the globalization theories that declared the death of the state in global decision-making. Abu Bhuiyan argues that the global Internet politics is primarily a conflict between the states - the United States of America and the states of the global south - because the former controls Internet policymaking. The states of the global south have been both oppositional and acquiescing to the sponsored policies of the United States on Internet issues such as digital divide, multilingualism, intellectual property rights and cyber security. They do not oppose the neoliberal underpinnings of the policies promoted by the United States, but ask for an international framework to govern the Internet so that they can work as equal partners in setting norms for the global Internet.

Book excerpt: This volume analyses the Principles Governing the Use by States of Artificial Earth Satellites for International Direct Television Broadcasting, adopted by a recorded vote of 107 for, 13 against, with 13 abstentions by the United Nations General Assembly on December 10, 1982, and proposes revisions which would lead to future consideration and adoption, by consensus of these Principles. These include, inter alia, a legal definition of international direct television broadcasting by satellite (IDTBS) to match the inherently global potential of the technology, encompassing the international legal concepts of a new world education, information and communication order (NWEICO) and the common heritage, interest and benefit of all mankind (CHM). Finally, extensive Appendixes provide the reader with comprehensive United Nations documentation concerning the consideration by the U.N. of the subject of international direct television broadcasting by satellite and the elaboration and adoption by the United Nations of the above mentioned Principles. Dr M. LeSueur Stewart, who is a member of the California and Massachusetts Bars, has worked not only as Attorney with an American television network but also as producer and host of a public affairs radio talk program.
