Olympolitics
Baron and Yaqin
The Olympic Games are where the best athletes from around the world gather to compete. However, in recent years the Games and the International Olympic Committee have come under increasing scrutiny by the general public and media due to the astronomic costs and environmental damage of hosting the Games. In this podcast, we explore what the political and economic effects of the Olympic Games truly are for host cities and countries and what the future of Games will be. Olympolitics is made possible through funding from the Keck Center of International and Strategic Studies at CMC.
