鉴于今年俄罗斯入侵乌克兰，政治和学术评论员正在反思俄罗斯体育大型赛事--包括2014年奥运会和2018年世界杯--在这场地缘政治和人类危机中可能发挥的作用。虽然缺乏后见之明的好处，但这本2021年编辑的卷是关于FIFA 2018世界杯政治意义的赛后学术思考的第一个主要集合。尽管在锦标赛之前和期间，跨学科的奖学金激增，但我们对这个项目最终对克里姆林宫，俄罗斯人和更广泛的世界意味着什么的理解仍然存在巨大差距。这本书有助于填补这一空白。编辑理查德·阿诺德（Richard Arnold）将本书分为两个公认的不平等部分：前七章主要关注国内政治领域，而最后三章则反映了2018年锦标赛的国际影响。该卷的优势在于所探讨的主题的异质性以及具有广泛学科专业知识的学者所使用的方法的多样性。作者研究了这项赛事的体育遗产（第1章），并分析了锦标赛作为国内“安全实验室”（第2章）和地区民粹主义政治的网站（第3章）。其他
IN LIGHT OF RUSSIA’S INVASION OF UKRAINE THIS YEAR, POLITICAL and academic commentators are reflecting on the role Russian sports mega-events—including the 2014 Olympics and the 2018 Football World Cup—might have played in this geopolitical and human crisis. Though lacking the benefit of hindsight, this 2021 edited volume is the first major collection of post-tournament academic reflections on the political significance of the FIFA 2018 World Cup. Despite the proliferation of scholarship across disciplines both before and during the championship, huge gaps remain in our understanding of what this project ultimately meant for the Kremlin, Russians and the wider world. This volume helps to fill this void. The editor, Richard Arnold, has divided the volume into two admittedly unequal parts: the first seven chapters primarily focus on the domain of domestic politics, while the final three contributions reflect on the international implications of the 2018 championship. A strength of the volume is the heterogeneity of the topics explored and the diversity of the approaches used by contributing scholars with a wide range of disciplinary expertise. The authors examine the sporting legacy of the event (Chapter 1) and analyse the championship as a domestic ‘security laboratory’(Chapter 2) and as a site of regional populist politics (Chapter 3).
