“…However, the ideal of having consistency of timing of the research was not resolved in this research. Further, as with other mega-event studies, the "sunset clause" of OCOGs poses a major issue for volunteer legacy and sustainability as ongoing research faces a challenging environment of changing organizations, responsibilities, and operations into the future (Cashman & Horne, 2013;Darcy, 2003;Gilmore, 2012). More broadly, this study has provided more evidence of a highly contextualized nature of volunteer research and SEVMS-related research.…”

People with disabilities are often the recipients of volunteer services but are rarely considered as a potential volunteer resource, such as in sport events where volunteers are an essential component of major sport event operation and legacy potential. For London's 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, there was a determined effort by the Organizing Committee to recruit people with disabilities to be Games Makers (i.e., volunteers). This exploratory research investigated 786 London 2012 volunteers who self-identified as having disability or access needs. The research design involved an online questionnaire examining their motivations for volunteering, their experiences, their likelihood to continue volunteering, and their sociodemographic profile. This article contributes to the literature by examining the motivations of people with disability volunteering at a mega-sport event, as this has not been done previously. The factor analysis identified eight components: transactional; altruistic; it's all about the games; volunteering community; rewards; availability; variety; and application. The solution highlighted the duality of human capital-related transactional components where the individual wanted to improve their skills and the altruistic components of giving back and it's all about the games experience. The discussion examined these components in comparison to other mega-event volunteers to examine commonalities and contrasts.

“…The data collected in this study across all 14 interviews were in agreement for efficient and flexible legacy planning. Cashman and Horne (2013) suggest that the methods of planning and managing legacy remain in the developmental stage with gaps and weaknesses apparent such as ensuring planning is a central component, securing a long-term focus and relevant evaluation, and managing stakeholder outcomes and resource challenges. Arguably, this is due to the recent emergence of this research field and differences in priorities from organising bodies (Stewart & Rayner, 2016).…”

“…While the advancement of legacy planning is apparent (Cashman & Horne, 2013;Christie & Gibb, 2015;Leopkey & Parent, 2016), some authors have begun to question the number of organisations involved and their purpose. Muller (2015) states that mega-events, such as the Olympic Games, are partly categorised accordingly to their large number of stakeholders.…”

“…The authors suggest that while legacy governance has progressed, current issues facing successful legacy planning include monitoring, policing and research legacy management (Leopkey & Parent, 2012). Cashman and Horne (2013) This demonstrates a pathway taken within a community setting to avoid confusion through legacy terminology; moreover, it also provides insight into a real-life example of explaining what legacy is in the context of the Games.…”

This paper explores the emerging importance of planning and governance surrounding the concept of event legacy by focusing on an in-depth case study of the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games. Given the long-term nature of the concept of legacy, the need for planned and thorough pre, during and post Games management is essential if legacy outcomes are to be monitored effectively. Research method employed for this study consist of in-depth interviews (n=14) with policy makers, organisers, and local community associations who were involved with legacy planning and implementation for the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games. The findings present Glasgow's legacy approach as an advancement in the understanding of legacy governance and planning in relation to critical event management. By designing and implementing legacy governance structures at an early stage, each stakeholder role is established and can be monitored while allowing for some flexibility within the legacy management partnerships. In addition, the notion of a partnership legacy can be seen to have grown from innovative legacy governance structures, such as collaborative working and network creation, put in place by Glasgow in the early stages of legacy planning, which can act as a model of best practice for other major event host destinations.

“…It is useful to consider two distinctions with respect to legacies when considering the political implications -that they can be tangible and intangible, and also universal and selective (for further discussion see Horne 2015;Cashman and Horne 2013). It is well established that legacies related to sports mega-events can be tangible, that is related to, for example, changes in some way to the material infrastructure or economic performance of the city or nation, and intangible, that is related to, for example, emotional responses to a mega-event whether individual or collective (Preuss 2007).…”

This article discusses the contemporary politics of sports mega-events, involving the Olympic Games and FIFA Men's Football World Cup Finals as well as other lower 'order' sports megas, taking two main forms: the promotional and the protest. There is a politics in, and a politics of, sports mega-events. The former focuses on the internal politics of the organising bodies, such as the IOC and FIFA. This form of politics has been written about elsewhere and hence there is no detailed discussion in this article about it. Instead this article offers a brief discussion of the range and number of sports mega-events since 2000, an assessment of the contemporary politics of sports mega-events, a focus on three main sites of political contestation -rights, legacy and labour, and finally it offers conclusions about research into the politics of sports mega-events.
