Sport Events

In 2007 a national action plan for major sport events was promoted by the Danish government aimed at using sport as a tool for branding and economic growth. The hosting of events such as the International Olympic Committee’s Session and Congress in 2009, the World Wrestling Championships in 2009, the UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship in 2011 and the UCI World Road Championship in 2011 can be counted among the most prominent results from the action plan. This article discusses whether major sport events have any economic impact on the host country or the respective region by reviewing relevant literature on the subject. Furthermore it uses data from Danish authorities to estimate potential effects, and concludes that economic impacts are marginal. Other effects, such as branding, are also discussed.

Impacto Económico

Los mega-eventos deportivos crean una nueva imagen del país anfitrión, atrae a espectadores y a los medios de comunicación (Santo, 2005; Cornelissen y Swart, 2006). El impacto económico de un evento puede definirse como el cambio económico neto en el país anfitrión que deriva del gasto atribuido al evento (Crompton, 1995). Ya que uno de los beneficios más importantes son los beneficios permanentes en la ciudad (Witt, 1988) como la mejora de las instalaciones o la imagen del país. En relación al turismo de un gran evento hay un moderado incremento del turismo interno de negocios en una ciudad durante el desarrollo del evento (OECD, 2012). Por lo tanto, la ciudad aumenta su potencial de inversión y actividad comercial (Avison Young, 2003) El objetivo del presente estudio fue analizar el impacto económico generado por los asistentes en la ciudad de Granada durante la Universiada Granada 2015. Mega-sport events create a new image of the host country, attracting viewers and the media (Santo, 2005; Cornelissen and Swart, 2006). The economic impact of an event can be defined as the net economic change in the host country that derives from the expenditure attributed to the event (Crompton, 1995). Since one of the most important benefits are the permanent benefits in the city (Witt, 1988) as the improvement of the facilities or the image of the country. In relation to the tourism of a big event there is a moderate increase of the internal business tourism in a city during the development of the event (OECD, 2012). Thus, the city increases its investment potential and commercial activity (Avison Young, 2003). The objective of the present study was to analyze the economic impact generated by the attendees in the city of Granada during the Universiade Granada 2015.

Capital Construction

Whilst the local multiplier impacts of the annual operation of universities has been the subject of intensive research, the economic impacts of capital construction projects have been almost completely ignored. This paper presents the results of detailed analysis of capital projects at Lancaster University in 1993- The reasons for the radically different annual operation and construction multipliers estimated in the Lancaster study are examined. Despite the smaller size of construction multipliers it is argued that it is a serious mistake to estimate local construction multipliers by making simplifying assumptions on the size of the key parameters in the multiplier equations.

The purpose of this chapter is to examine the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the tourism global value chain (GVC). Theoretical analysis revealed that being triggered by health factors, the coronavirus pandemic exerted an unprecedented shock on both the supply and demand sides of the tourism sector and the global economy. This resulted in implications that are more severe and less predictable than earlier crises that the world had witnessed. Analysis of the economic impact on various components of the tourism GVC revealed that measures adopted by world governments to protect their citizens resulted in massive damage to tourism related industries and to the global economy. The chapter concludes by predicting that the consequences of the current pandemic will inevitably give rise to new, more innovate tourism models, responding to the changing global economic and tourism landscape and to the change in consumers' characteristics and expectations.

The Impact

People of African descent who migrated from their “homelands” constituted, and still constitute, important forces in many African cultures outside of their “homelands” as well as in many other cultures outside of the African continent. Historically, the migration of people of African descent from their “homelands” is mainly linked to the pre-20th century Muslim or Asian trade and the Atlantic trade as well as to the post 1980 globalization of the capitalist system. Even before the post 1980 globalization of the capitalist system deepened the crises in African states and resulted in the migration of skilled and unskilled Africans to places like the United States, Canada, Britain and the Middle East, some scholars had written on people of African descent in several parts of the world. Although the earliest among those who wrote on the subject before the 1980s did not employ the term “African diaspora” in their analysis, an increasing number of scholars who wrote after 1950 have used the term in question in their study of people of African descent in various parts of the world. The relevant literature written after 1950 features disagreement over the meaning of the concept “African diaspora” and point to diverse methodologies that are useful in working on the subject. This particular literature can be divided into three broad categories: works that deal with the Old African diaspora, works that deal with the New African diaspora and works that deal with both the Old and New African diasporas. The historiography shows that works situated in all of these three categories mainly offer competing view over three fundamental questions: why did Africans leave their “homelands” and settle elsewhere? What was the impact of this process on the societies they left? How did Africans who left their “homelands” integrate into their host societies or preserve their unique identities; or, more broadly, what was the impact of their arrival on the host society they entered? Despite the rapid strides that have been made since the 1960s in regard to addressing these questions or in regards to the scholarly study of the African diasporas in general, there is still no firm definition of the term “African diaspora.” Moreover, there are still other gaps in the scholarly knowledge of the subject.

Hosting major sporting events has become an important instrument that brings new impulses for urban and regional development. There is a range of positive and negative impacts in the economic, social, political, and cultural domains, as well as urban regeneration and infrastructure development. This article focuses on an analysis of short-term local impacts of the World Championship in Ice Hockey 2011 in Bratislava, which was based on an extensive survey of visitor expenditures followed by input/output modelling of indirect local effect. Our survey showed that approximately 83,000 non-local visitors spent almost 11 million euros during the event. We estimated that the direct economic impact of the World Championship was 7.5 million euros, of which the largest part was spent on the sphere of hotels and restaurants. The total (direct and indirect) economic impact of visitor spending was 13.6 million euros. Moreover, another 104 million euros was an additional economic impact of related local investments in the sports infrastructure.

Doctrine Of Creation

Article 69 (d) of Kenya’s Constitution (2010) encourages public participation in the management, protection, and conservation of the environment. In the context of eco-theology, this article seeks to explore the efficacy of the Christian doctrine of creation in to curbing the evidential land pollution in Kenya. Basically, air pollution, water pollution, and land pollution are the three major kinds of environmental pollution in the world. The term land pollution means the degradation (destruction) of the earth’s surface and soil via human activities. Land pollution is a major problem in Kenya that is caused by various factors such as deforestation and soil erosion, agriculture, industry, mining, landfills, illegal dumping of waste, and construction activities. Some of its devastating effects in Kenya include: water pollution, soil pollution, air pollution, human health problems, decline of tourism, and so forth. Thus, land pollution poses a serious threat to all Kenyans, a phenomenon that serves to justify the necessity of this article. As a doctrinal response, this article endeavours to unveil the Christian doctrine of creation and how it can be utilised to curb the ongoing land pollution in Kenya. In its methodology, this article reviews the appropriate and relevant literature on pollution and eco-theological approach, the exegetical method, the legal-constitutional basis of addressing the subject, and the use of archival resources.

System Of Cities

Existe un creciente interés por cuantificar los niveles de competitividad de las ciudades, pues todas las naciones requieren elevar la eficiencia de sus urbes para estar en posibilidad de articularse ventajosamente dentro del proceso de mundialización de la economía. Con el fin de desarrollar el planteamiento anterior, un primer objetivo de este artículo es sintetizar las principales teorías sobre el crecimiento económico de las ciudades y los factores determinantes de su grado de competitividad. A ello le sigue, como segundo propósito, presentar las características del sistema planetario de ciudades en 2005. En tercer lugar se analiza el grado de competitividad de las ciudades en México, Latinoamérica y el mundo, mediante la consideración de un conjunto de investigaciones que se han realizado al respecto. Se trata de estudiar comparativamente algunas de las principales clasificaciones existentes en México, para posteriormente ubicar los niveles de competitividad de las ciudades del país en el ámbito latinoamericano y mundial.Se considera como conclusión central que el hecho de que 20 ciudades mexicanas figuren entre las 500 más competitivas del mundo no ha promovido un desarrollo económico significativo, ni impidió que la competitividad global del país se haya desplomado del lugar 42° al 60° entre 2002 y 2009. Para invertir esta tendencia se requiere diseñar un nuevo modelo de acumulación de capital en México que permita superar las crisis recurrentes y retomar el sendero hacia un desarrollo económico sostenido, para lo cual es indispensable elevar el nivel de competitividad de las principales ciudades mexicanas a fin de que participen exitosamente dentro de una economía de escala planetaria.AbstractThis is a growing interest in quantifying the competitiveness levels of cities, since all nations must boost the efficiency of their cities in order to be able to operate successfully within the globalization of the economy. In order to develop this thesis, the first aim of this paper is to summarize the main theories on the economic growth of cities and the factors that determine their degree of competitiveness. The second aim is to present the characteristics of the world system of cities in 2005. The third is to analyze the degree of competitiveness of cities in Mexico, Latin America and the world, through the consideration of a set of research projects conducted on the subject. The point is to provide a comparative study of the main classifications existing in Mexico in order to subsequently determine the competitiveness levels of the country’s cities in the Latin American and world sphere.The main conclusion is that the fact that 20 Mexican cities figure among the 500 most competitive ones has failed to promote significant economic development or prevent the country’s overall competitiveness from falling from 42nd to 60th place between 2002 and 2009. Reversing this trend requires designing a new model for the accumulation of capital in Mexico that will make it possible to overcome the recurrent crises and resume the path towards sustained economic development, which requires boosting the level of competitiveness of Mexican cities to enable them to participate successfully in a world-scale economy.
