Description:
"Beyond the realm of sports and spectacle, states host the Olympic Games for political, social, and cultural reasons. In particular, organizers have used the Olympics as an opportunity to redefine and reassert their national identities though performance. The hosts present an artistic rendering of their national identity to domestic and international audiences though the pageantry of the opening and closing ceremonies" -- cover.
