In the 1950s, West Germany and its NATO allies refused to recognize the communist East German state and barred its national teams from sporting competitions. The construction of the Berlin Wall in 1961 further exacerbated these pressures, with East German teams denied travel to several world championships. These tensions would only intensify in the run-up to the 1968 Olympics. In Bidding for the 1968 Olympic Games, Heather L. Dichter considers how NATO and its member states used sport as a diplomatic arena during the height of the Cold War, and how international sport responded to political interference. Drawing on archival materials from NATO, foreign ministries, domestic and international sport functionaries, and newspapers, Dichter examines controversies surrounding the 1968 Summer and Winter Olympic Games, particularly the bidding process between countries to host the events. As she demonstrates, during the Cold War sport and politics became so intertwined that they had the power to fundamentally transform each other"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Introduction: NATO and sport? -- Travel restrictions, state symbols, and East German recognition in sport -- The Berlin Wall and the ending of free travel in sport -- NATO's small states asserting their power -- The 1968 candidate cities confront Olympic demands for free travel -- The NATO working group on the 1968 Olympics -- The 1968 Olympic host city elections -- Decisions revisited -- Conclusion: To Grenoble and beyond. 650 0 $a Olympic host city selection $y 1968. 650 0 $a Olympics $x Political aspects. 650 0 $a Olympics $x Economic aspects. 610 20 $a International Olympic Committee. 610 20 $a North Atlantic Treaty Organization $x Influence. 650 0 $a Sports and state $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Cold War $x Influence. 650 0 $a World politics $y 1945-1989. 611 20 $a Olympic Games $n (19th : $d 1968 : $c Mexico City, Mexico) 650 6 $a Jeux olympiques $x Aspect politique. 650 6 $a Jeux olympiques $x Aspect eÌconomique. 650 6 $a Sports $x Histoire $x Histoire $y 20e sieÌcle. 650 6 $a Politique mondiale $y 1945-1989. 610 27 $a International Olympic Committee. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00549528 610 27 $a North Atlantic Treaty Organization. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00529467 611 27 $a Olympic Games. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01408249 650 7 $a Influence (Literary, artistic, etc.) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00972484 650 7 $a Olympic host city selection. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01740177 650 7 $a Olympics $x Economic aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01045589 650 7 $a Olympics $x Political aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01045600 650 7 $a Sports and state. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01130564 650 7 $a War $x Influence. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01170343 650 7 $a World politics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01181381 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Dichter, Heather L., 1978- $t Bidding for the 1968 Olympic Games $d Amherst : University of Massachusetts Press, [2021] $z 9781613768709 $w (DLC) 2021017184 830 0 $a Culture and politics in the Cold War and beyond. 941 $a 1 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20221012010618.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2FDCD84E49F311ED9CAF447533ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
