摘要这一贡献为体育赛事的社会影响提供了一个理论视角。该领域的大多数研究都集中在全球大型体育赛事(MSE)上。然而，考虑到在这个全球化的世界里有更多更小的非大型体育赛事(NMSE)正在组织，这篇论文呼吁反思这些较小类型的赛事如何潜在地造福当地社区的居民。本文从权力关系、城市更新、社会化和人力资本四个不同的角度，对中小企业和非中小企业的社会影响和结果进行了对比和比较。我们有理由相信，与MSE相比，NMSE在为东道国社区创造持久利益方面可能更具相关性。这是通过社会资本的概念来解释的。由于NMSE无处不在，它们可能会提供更持久的全球利益。白皮书呼吁制定更广泛的研究议程，重点关注中小型体育赛事对当地社区的真正价值。
Abstract This contribution offers a theoretical perspective on the social impacts of sport events. Most research in this area has focused on global mega sport events (MSEs). However, given the fact that there are many more, smaller non-mega sport events (NMSEs) being organised in this global world, the paper calls for a reflection on how these smaller types of events can potentially contribute to benefit residents of local communities. The paper contrasts and compares social impacts and outcomes of both, MSEs and NMSEs, using four different perspectives: power relations, urban regeneration, socialisation, and human capital. There is reason to believe that NMSEs may be more relevant in creating durable benefits for host communities, as compared to MSEs. This is explained through the concept of social capital. Because NMSEs are omni-present, they may provide more lasting global benefits. The paper calls for a broader research agenda focussing on the true value of small and medium sized sport events for local communities.
