Last week I was in Coventry, gynecologist<\/a> UK, to present a paper at Play the Game 2009<\/a>, one of the biggest communication conferences on sport and society, now at its 6th edition. It was a busy conference with many speakers coming from a very wide range of fields and institutions, starting from sports journalism up to the IOC, human rights advocacy groups and up to academia.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

I was part of the Beijing 2008: Business and Politics session sharing the floor with Joern Hansen,<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0Associate Professor at the University of Southern Denmark, Anders Hasselgaard<\/a>, Researcher at NUPI<\/a>, and Rowan Simons<\/a>, author of the recently published Bamboo Goalposts and Chairman of several sports organizations. The session covered rather different views on Beijing, from the influence of financial interests on awarding the Games to Beijing, the flaws of China’s system of sports governance to human rights discourse and the presence, campaigns and influence of human rights advocacy groups in Beijing last year. However, the difference in point of views led to a interesting and lively debate afterwards.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
