Olympic event zones are characterised as being intensely formally regulated during live staging periods, producing exclusionary environments blamed for side-lining host community interests. Yet, our findings contradict what scholars perceive to be inflexible formal regulations, and, the regulator’s ability to take informal action. By interviewing and drawing on the experience of 17 regulators during London 2012 we identify how regulators simultaneously oscillate between modes of regulatory formality and informality, straddling what is referred to as the ‘formality-informality span’. Our application and theorisation of these concepts critiques existing explanations of how regulation is enacted in mega-sporting events, providing new insights into the way organisers balance regulatory demands and potentially opening up new emancipatory policies and more equitable outcomes for host communities.

The author tries to answer this question, he provides an overview of the osce toolbox in this area and makes some suggestions on the way forward.

Developing nations have yet to enter the projected main phase of their population explosion. Between 1950 and 1985 they increased their numbers by 1,980 million people, whereas between 1985 and 2020 the increase is projected to be 2,783 millions. If we exclude China from the reckoning, on the grounds of that country being well on the way to a zero-growth population, the figures are 1,486 millions and 2,415 millions.

AbstractIn this paper I shall present ways in which professional astronomers in developing nations can aid basic education by using a few things that have been done in Mexico.Recently the compulsory education in Mexico was increased from 6 to 12 years. An optional subject on astronomy was included in high school; so there are several ways in which one can contribute to the national education system.I shall give a practical example on ways to teach and mention the importance of magazines and books dedicated to teachers. I will also address the way we have implemented brief courses for educators and organized conferences for science teachers.It is important to emphasize that we must find ways to train people in a more effective way.
