An exploration of how the Olympics are organised in response to risk. This book looks at the tension between the riskiness of mega-events, attributable to their scale and complexities, and the societal, political and organisational pressures that exist for safety, security and management of risk – leading to changes in how the Games are governed.
'...in Olympic Risks, Will Jennings provides an insightful analysis and commentary which is of relevance to scholars, policy makers, government agencies and public bodies, host cities and countries and mega event organizers. His work clearly and comprehensively accentuates the increasing influence of societal perceptions about risk and the impact of this on the governance of the Olympic Games.' - Tracey Taylor, UTS Business School, University of Technology, Sydney Australia, International Journal of Sport Policy and Politics
