This book shows how the 1992 Olympic Games raised the tension that already existed between Catalonia and Spain, from the time they were awarded to Barcelona until they opened. John Hargreaves analyses and explains the way in which the conflict developed and eventually was resolved, in terms of the special characteristics of Catalan nationalism, the nature of the new Spanish democracy and the special role played by the International Olympic Committee. This book will be relevant to academics, researchers and postgraduates specialising in nationalism and Catalan nationalism, as well as being of interest to teachers, researchers and students of political sociology, cultural studies and sports studies, and professionals working in the fields of culture, sport, recreation and leisure. 410 0$aCambridge Cultural Social Sciences 606 $aNationalism$zSpain$zCatalonia$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aNationalism and sports$zSpain$zCatalonia$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aCatalonia (Spain)$xPolitics and government$y20th century 615 0$aNationalism$xHistory 615 0$aNationalism and sports$xHistory 676 $a320.54/0946/70904 700 $aHargreaves$b John$g(John E.
