Az olimpiai játékok és a nagyhatalmi politika, avagy mekkora esélye van Magyarországnak egy olimpiát szervezni?
Olympic Games and Great Power Politics – What are Hungary’s Chances of Hosting the Olympics?

Summary/Abstract: Politics and the Olympic Movement, despite every real or simulated effort, have never been able to completely separate. Especially in recent decades, it can be observed that politics attempts to appropriate sporting events, the so-called mega-events, especially the Olympic Games. The massively budgeted organization and execution of the Olympic Games represent tremendous advertisement for a nation, the most expensive yet most effective advertisement possible. This article is based on a previous study that aimed to analyze the power displays of great powers at the Olympic Games. It attempts to analyze how the cities/states organizing the Olympics increased their budget year by year, and what chances Hungary had, has, and will have in organizing an Olympic Games amid these great power competitions.
