Globeedit Sport, politika és olimpia

"Sport, Politics, and the Olympics" is a scholarly book that examines the complex interactions between sport, politics, and international relations in the context of the bipolar world order. It particularly highlights the role of sport as a platform for international conflicts and political disputes, focusing on socialist Hungary in the 1980s. The author, Nikoletta Sipos-Onyestyák, analyzes the political considerations that arose during the Olympic Games and illustrates how dependence on the Soviet Union influenced decision-making. The book reconstructs the dilemmas and decision-making mechanisms associated with the Summer Olympics and sheds light on the activities of sports and political organizations, as well as the role of the media and personal memories. It also discusses how sport can serve as a means of rapprochement between nations and political recognition of countries after the Cold War.
