5 out of 5 stars Recommended reading for students of political science   June 8, 2001
 1 out of 3 found this review helpful

In Olympic Dreams: The Impact Of Megaevents On Local Politics, Matthew Burbank, Gregory Andranovich, and Charles Heying effectively collaborate to survey the controversial questions arising when municipalities compete for, and agree to support the staging of a manor international event. Using Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Salt Lake City as case examples of American cities which hosted the Olympics, the authors present a comprehensive study of what precedes and ultimately follows this international sporting event, its impact on the municipality's political and financial economy. Very highly recommended reading for students of political science and international studies, Olympic Dreams is a particularly timely contribution in light of recent international meetings sponsored by the World Trade Organization, The World Bank, Organization of American States, and various United Nations organizations holding their conferences and meetings in American cities.
