Foundations of Managing British Olympics

Institutions through Time

This interdisciplinary study examines the organisation, administration, and public benefits of Olympic Games in the United Kingdom. In particular, the study will examine the events of the twentieth century, the 1908 and 1948 Olympic Games, drawing upon archive materials.

Foundations of Managing British Olympics: Institutions Through Time charts how the British contributed to the development of the Olympic Games as an institution, and how they did this through the development of competitive sport through the nineteenth and early twentieth century.
This intriguing new volume tells the story of how the first modern Olympic revival happened and the role that British sporting movements and administrators played in its success. The book takes the reader from the earliest Olympic revivals in England to London being awarded the hosting rights for the London 1908 games. 

This volume will be of considerable interest to research academics working on aspects of 19th and early 20th century British, European and World History, including sport, social, business, management, economic and political history.
