Download or read book Routledge Handbook of Sport and Legacy written by Richard Holt and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-03-02 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What remains of a great sporting spectacle after the last race is run or the final match is played? How can the vast expense of mounting such events be justified? What if there is nothing left behind or what if the legacy is negative, a costly infrastructure which is unused or a debt-ridden host city? The Routledge Handbook of Sport and Legacy addresses perhaps the most important issue in the hosting of major contemporary sporting events: the problem of ‘legacy’. It offers a rigorous, innovative and comparative insight into this contested concept from interdisciplinary and practical perspectives. Major events must now have a conscious, credible and defined policy for legacy to meet public expectations. The book provides a comprehensive survey of the various kinds of legacy that can be delivered, as well as a close examination of the potential benefits and practical challenges involved in each. From ‘hard’ legacies, such as stadia and infrastructure, to ‘soft’ legacies including skill development, attitude change and capacity building, the book offers both a historical case study and an innovative strategic management approach, and establishes the limits of what can realistically be achieved in terms of economic, social, cultural, physical and sporting development. The Routledge Handbook of Sport and Legacy includes contributions from world leading scholars and practitioners and features detailed case studies of major sports events from around the world, including the FIFA World Cup and ten Olympics Games from London in 1908 to London 2012. It is invaluable reading for students and researchers working in sport studies, events management, human geography, economics or planning, and an essential reference for any professional engaged in delivering legacy through sport.
Download or read book A Context and Practice Global Case File written by Olivia M. Farrar and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hastings v. USATF, IAAF and IOC is a case where sports, constitutional law, and human rights law converge when an elite athlete is excluded from the Olympics due to her gender. This case is a federal appeal by Nakia Hastings, a female intersex athlete who was excluded by USA Track & Field ["USATF"] from the US team sent to the 2012 London Olympics. Her exclusion was due to new Regulations that ban female athletes with naturally elevated testosterone levels; these Regulations were promulgated by the international sports regulatory bodies [the International Association of Athletics Federations ("IAAF") and the International Olympic Committee ("IOC")]. Hastings challenged her exclusion before the Court of Arbitration for Sports ["CAS"] which ruled against her. She appealed this CAS arbitration in US District Court, alleging: that these Regulations are unconstitutional gender discrimination; that they violate her human rights; and that they should not be enforced under the "public policy" exception to the New York Convention. The District Court ruled against Hastings on all counts, and she has appealed to the Ninth Circuit. Although international in focus, the case file is designed to be accessible to US JDs and LLMs, and thus it is set in a US court and all legal authorities are available in English. The case file includes the appellate record and potential assignments, specifically, an appellate brief, oral arguments, appellate mediation, and a judicial opinion for the case. The Teacher's Manual includes answer keys, evaluation rubrics, and a full bench memo. This book is part of the Context and Practice Series, edited by Michael Hunter Schwartz, Professor of Law and Dean of the McGeorge School of Law, University of the Pacific.
