Resumo
In the last chapter of the book, Lamartine Pereira Da Costa places in a comparative lens the geopolitical stakes in and significances of the process of bidding and hosting different Olympic festivals for Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico. Moreover, in studying the past experiences of these three countries' involvement with and in the Olympic Movement, DaCosta also reflects on what might be in store for the future of this global phenomenon in Latin America and the Caribbean. This chapter ignites a conversation related to the particular insights that can be gained from comparative methodologies in Olympic studies and, more specifically, in the Latin American and Caribbean expression of and engagement with the Olympic Movement.
