Résumé

Academic literature is paying increasing attention to the Olympic Games because they are the subject of considerable social issues and tensions in the metropolises then organize and host them. Indeed, the political, economic and financial interests of both public authorities and private investors often strongly oppose those of local communities.The literature on the urban and geostrategic issues of the Olympic Games as a competitive mega-event reveals a lot of important controversies. Indeed, behind the apparent nobility of high-level sporting performance, which can pacify people and inspire the young, a considerable number of interest crystallize around the Olympic Games; thus, academic attention focuses on the dynamics of collaboration/protestation at various scale.
