This open access book explores how mega-events intersect with geopolitics and soft power, revealing both the spectacle and the underlying socio-political tensions. Through global case studies—from South Africa to Qatar, Brazil to Beijing—it examines how nations use events to project unity and greatness, while often masking local struggles. The volume offers a transdisciplinary lens on the political implications of hosting mega-events and their impact on host populations.
