SUMMARY:FCCC Talk. How Beijing Won the 2022 Winter Olympics by Heather Dichter
DESCRIPTION:On February 4 the XXIV Olympic Winter Games will open in Beijing\, marking the first time a city will host both the summer and winter Olympic Games.  Politics — both within China and the Olympic movement more broadly — have been a major point of discussion\, when the International Olympic Committee selected China to host the Games as well as with more recent announcements of diplomatic boycotts of the event.  Professor Dichter will discuss how politics influenced the 2022 Olympic Winter Games selection process\, resulting in Beijing’s victory\, and how efforts to use the Olympic Games for political reasons historically have fared. \nABOUT OUR SPEAKER: Heather Dichter is Associate Professor of sport history and sport management in the International Centre for Sports History and Culture at De Montfort University in Leicester\, UK.  She has published widely on international sport and diplomacy\, including her recent book\, Bidding for the 1968 Olympic Games: International Sport’s Cold War Battle with NATO (Massachusetts\, 2021).  Her edited book\,Soccer Diplomacy: International Relations and Football since 1914 (Kentucky\, 2020) was shortlisted for The Telegraph Sports Book Awards Football Book of the Year.

SUMMARY:FCCC Talk. How to Read The People’s Daily by Manoj Kewalramani
DESCRIPTION:In his studies of Chinese politics\, Indian researcher Manoj Kewalramani felt that national reportage and discourse often overlooked the analysis of primary source materials and open source Chinese language materials. This was the impetus behind his work on reading the People’s Daily and putting it in the public domain in the form of a daily blog. He will talk about the different lenses through which he views the newspaper and what are some of his learnings from this process. And also\, why he feels it is important to develop an Indian perspective on the threats and opportunities that China’s rise brings. \nABOUT OUR SPEAKER:  Manoj Kewalramani is the Chairperson of the Indo-Pacific Studies Programme at the Takshashila Institution\, a centre for public policy education based in Bengaluru\, India. His research interests range from Chinese politics\, foreign policy and approaches to new technologies to addressing questions of how India can work with like-minded partners to deal with the challenges presented by China’s rise. Manoj is the author of Smokeless War: China’s Quest for Geopolitical Dominance\, which discusses China’s political\, diplomatic\, economic and narrative responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. Prior to joining Takshashila\, he spent over a decade working as a journalist in India and China\, where he helped set up digital newsrooms and train young journalists.

SUMMARY:FCCC Talk. The Pursuit of Soft Power Through Sport Mega-Events: Lessons from China by Susan Brownell
DESCRIPTION:Since the end of the Cold War\, Olympic Games have entered a new era in which governments see the games as a form of “public diplomacy” and non-governmental organizations target the games in publicity campaigns. The Chinese leadership intended the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games to serve the pursuit of “soft power.”  In the leadup to the Beijing 2022 Olympics\, what has changed and what has stayed the same since 2008\, and what are the lessons going forward for China and other nations strategizing to increase their “soft power” through hosting sport mega-events? And how should the members of the media see their role in this process? \nAbout our speaker: Susan Brownell is a professor of Anthropology at the University of Missouri – St. Louis and a former nationally-ranked track and field athlete in the U.S. She has been researching sports and Olympic Games in China since she won a gold medal in the 1986 Chinese College Games while representing Peking University.  In 2007-08\, she joined Chinese colleagues collaborating with BOCOG and the municipal government\, and she also had rare access to internal decision-making at the International Olympic Committee.
