The Olympic Games is undoubtedly the greatest sporting event in the world, with over 200 countries competing for success. This important new study of the Olympics investigates why some countries are more successful than others. Which factors determine their failure or success? What is the relationship between these factors? And how can these factors be manipulated to influence a country’s performance in sport? This book addresses these questions and discusses the theoretical concepts that explain why national sporting success has become a policy priority around the globe.Danyel Reiche reassesses our understanding of success in sport and challenges the conventional explanations that population size and economic strength are the main determinants for a country’s Olympic achievements. He presents a theory of countries’ success and failure, based on detailed investigations of the relationships between a wide variety of factors that influence a country’s position in the Olympic medals table, including geography, ideology, policies such as focusing on medal promising sports, home advantage and the promotion of women. This book fills a long-standing gap in literature on the Olympics and will provide valuable insights for all students, scholars, policy makers and journalists interested in the Olympic Games and the wider relationship between sport, politics, and nationalism.

This book examines the goals and impact of Qatar’s hosting of the FIFA men’s World Cup 2022 in the context of the existing literature on Qatar, small states in international politics, and the use of sports in development and soft power strategies. The ten chapters in this book explore the multifaceted implications of Qatar hosting the FIFA World Cup 2022, positioning it within the context of the country’s domestic development and global influence. This book highlights Qatar’s rise to global prominence despite its small size, emphasizing its strategic investments in LNG and its successful bid for the FIFA World Cup 2022, and draws attention to the way in which the 2022 World Cup challenged European dominance of the sport. The ten chapters are grouped into three thematic rubrics, all relating directly or indirectly to the 2022 World Cup: Qatar’s foreign policy, including the impact of the 2017–2021 Gulf crisis and Qatar’s resilience in the face of challenges; the theme of Qatar’s soft power and branding efforts; and Qatar’s domestic politics and culture, including discussions on football fandom among citizens and migrant communities and Qatar’s alcohol policies during the World Cup.This volume will be an invaluable resource for scholars, researchers, and policymakers engaged in the fields of Middle East studies, sport policy and politics, sociology of sports, and cultural studies. It was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Arabian Studies.

Sport in the Middle East has become a major issue in global affairs. The contributors to this timely volume discuss the intersection of political and cultural processes related to sport in the region. Eleven chapters trace the historical institutionalisation of sport and the role it has played in negotiating 'Western' culture. Sport is found to be a contested terrain where struggles are being fought over the inclusion of women, over competing definitions of national identity, over preserving social memory, and over press freedom. Also discussed are the implications of mega-sporting events for host countries, and how both elite sport policies and sports industries in the region are being shaped. Sport, Politics and Society in the Middle East draws on academic disciplines from the humanities and social sciences to offer in-depth, theoretically grounded, and richly empirical case studies. It employs diverse research methodologies, from ethnography and in-depth interviews to archival research, to make a lasting contribution to this critical subject.
