Resumen

Objetivo del estudio: Analizar la nueva situación destacada en el proceso de licitación para ser la ciudad anfitriona de los Juegos Olímpicos de verano o invierno.
Metodología/Enfoque: Tomando la década de 1990 como punto de referencia inicial, esta investigación cualitativa y exploratoria se ha llevado a cabo, implicando el análisis y la síntesis de datos e información proveniente de fuentes secundarias. La investigación abarca extensivamente el análisis de artículos académicos, libros, noticias y fuentes publicadas en sitios especializados.
Originalidad/Relevancia: La organización de los Juegos y las demandas impuestas por el COI han sido cada vez más criticadas. Un aumento en el número de referendos con los habitantes locales de las ciudades candidatas ha resultado en la retirada de solicitudes durante todo el proceso de selección.
Resultados principales: Los resultados indican que el nuevo escenario geopolítico tiene implicaciones significativas para el proceso de licitación para los Juegos Olímpicos. Un escenario inusual surge en el entorno geopolítico de los Juegos, promoviendo no solo cambios en el perfil de los candidatos, sino también cambios institucionales dentro del propio COI.
Contribuciones teóricas/metodológicas: Puede proporcionar una mejor comprensión de la compleja relación entre política, poder y eventos deportivos. La investigación puede ayudar a identificar variables clave que afectan el proceso de selección, que luego pueden ser investigadas más a fondo a través de estudios cuantitativos.
Contribución social/de gestión: La investigación puede arrojar luz sobre el impacto del proceso de licitación en la sociedad, incluidas sus consecuencias económicas, políticas y sociales. También puede informar el proceso de toma de decisiones del COI y otros actores involucrados.
