“The Governance of Post-Winter Olympic Games Legacies by Byun, Leopkey and Dowling offers the reader a comprehensive analysis of post-Games legacy governance through a series of important case studies related to organisations involved in Salt Lake City (2002), Vancouver (2010) and PyeongChang (2018). Applying a governance framework, the authors tease out what post-Olympic good governance ought to look like.” —Jonathan Grix, Professor of Sport Politics and Policy, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK “Spanning over two decades of Winter Olympic Games legacies, this impressive collection compares three editions. What is perhaps most striking is the ambition and achievement of offering practical and theoretical implications for sustainable post-Games legacy management throughout. A must read for those ‘new to’ and ‘established’ in debates around the legacy of events.” —Verity Postlethwaite, Vice-Chancellor Independent Research Fellow, Loughborough University, UK “This book incisively addresses the complexities of post-Games legacy governance. It goes beyond the myth that hosting sports events guarantees broad benefits, offering critical analysis and practical insights for future host cities and studies in sport event management. This book is essential reading for those seeking to understand the nuanced balance of promise and reality in sports event legacy planning and governance.” —Alana Thomson, Senior Lecturer, La Trobe University, Australia This book provides a comprehensive analysis of post-Games legacy governance including stakeholder relationships, institutional conditions, and policy environments, while also empirically exploring the modes of governance employed by select cases of the Winter Olympic Games. This work offers insights to help practitioners develop and manage the governance of legacy more effectively. Theoretical and methodological implications, as well as future avenues of research are suggested.
