    Sport mega-events and ‘terrorism’: A critical analysis
    (2012)
    Giulianotti, Richard
    ;
    Klauser, Francisco 
    The article explores critically the interplay between sport and terrorism, with particular reference to sport mega-events. Our discussion is divided into two main sections. First, we set out the main principles of a critical social theoretical approach, which enables satisfactory analysis of the ‘sport/terrorism’ couplet. We discuss the contribution of three types of critical perspective that are tied to different disciplines, namely sociology, human geography, and political science/international relations. Second, we turn to consider some of the main historical and contemporary incidents and issues with regard to terrorism at sport mega-events. On this basis, we show how and why social scientific analysis needs to move beyond common-sense understandings of the sport/terrorism couplet, to investigate critically the epistemologies and discursive constructions of terror, the logics, processes and relationships underpinning specific counter-terrorism strategies, and the wider socio-spatial implications thereof.

    Security and Surveillance at Sport Mega Events
    (2011-11-21)
    Giulianotti, Richard
    ;
    Klauser, Francisco 
    The focus of this introductory paper is on the interplay between security, sport mega-events, and cities. The authors also discuss how security and surveillance issues at mega-events connect with problems addressed by three established fields of research: literature focusing on the economic impacts of sport mega-events, sociological and anthropological approaches examining the socio-cultural politics and impacts of sport mega-events, and research into sport-related violence such as hooliganism.

    Sport Mega-Events, Security and Risk Management: Towards an Interdisciplinary Research Agenda
    (2010-2-21)
    Giulianotti, Richard
    ;
    Klauser, Francisco 
    Security has become central to the hosting of sport mega-event (SMEs). This article discusses three sets of issues and problems that are taking shape within the field of SME security research: first, comparative issues in relationship to the Global North and Global South; second, various risks and security strategies that are specific to different SMEs; and third, the security legacies that follow from SMEs, such as new surveillance technologies, new security-focused social policies, and security-influenced urban redevelopment.

    Security Governance and Sport Mega-events: Toward an Interdisciplinary Research Agenda
    (2010)
    Giulianotti, Richard
    ;
    Klauser, Francisco 
    In the post-9/11 context, security issues have become increasingly central to the hosting of sport mega-event (SMEs). Security budgets for events like the Olympic Games now run into billions of dollars. This article seeks to advance the emerging field of SME security research in substantive and analytical terms. We identify three sets of issues and problems that are taking shape within this field: first, comparative issues in relationship to the Global North and Global South, notably given the growing number of SMEs set to be staged in the Global South; second, various risks and security strategies that are specific to different SMEs, including perceived terrorist threats, spectator violence, and broader risks associated with poverty, social divisions, and urban crime; and third, the security legacies that follow from SMEs, such as new surveillance technologies, new security-focused social policies, and security-influenced urban redevelopment. We argue that future research into SME security governance should be underpinned by a synthetic theoretical framework. This framework brings together three particular strands: first, a sociological approach that explores the _security field,_ drawing in part on Bourdieu; second, critical urban geographical theory, which contextualizes security strategies in relationship to new architectures of social control and consumption in urban settings; and third, different strands of risk theory, notably in regard to reflexive modernization, governmentality, and cultural sociological questions.
