• Mega-events as a Response to Poverty Reduction: The 2010 FIFA World Cup and its Urban Development Implications (2008, background): “A host of scholars conclude that while there are some positive economic and legacy impacts (Lee and Taylor 2005 ;R itchie2000), the urban economic impact is variable, intangible and ambiguous at best ( Andranovich et al. 2001; Gratton et al. 2000, 2001, 2006).”
• Attracting Major Sporting Events: The Role of Local Residents (2006, background): “Several authors focus on the political importance of mega sport events, in particular the Olympic Games (Hill, 1996; Andranovich et al. , 2001; Lenskyj, 2000, 2002).”
• Social Responsibility and the Olympic Games: The Mediating Role of Consumer Attributions (2010, background): “…critics of the Games argue that rather than promoting "Olympism", the Games have primarily been used to leverage public funds to satisfy elite economic interests, resulting in long-term debt and negative host city impacts (cf. Andranovich et al., 2001; Lenskyj, 2003; Whitson & Macintosh, 1993).”
• Municipal statecraft (2018, background): “…coalition politics, for instance through their role in place branding and urban competitiveness strategy (Gold and Gold, 2008) or by ‘catalyzing’ land investment (Essex and Chalkley, 1998) when global media attention was leveraged to promote growth coalition projects (Andranovich et al., 2001).”
• The Mega-Event Syndrome: Why So Much Goes Wrong in Mega-Event Planning and What to Do About It (2015, background): “Planning for mega-events then turns into a technocratic process of delivery and democratic demands become risks that threaten to delay the planning and construction process of the event (Raco, 2014; see also Andranovich et al., 2001; Hiller, 2000).”
