Softpower Soccer Supremacy by J.a. Mangan, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

Xi Jinping’s \"Soccer Revolution\" is unique: the most extensive politicization and geo-politicization of the Global Game. His purpose is to extend the global softpower projection of \"the Middle Kingdom\": an ancient Western imperial mantra (\"bread and circuses\") has been replaced by a modern Eastern \"imperial\" mantra (\"rice and pitches\"). The Asian Football Federation shares this \"allopathic\" vision of East Asian soccer: the future is Asia and it starts in China! Soccer is a talisman for a New Asia in a New Era. For China soccer is a hubristic instrument of softpower projection. Softpower, Soccer, Supremacy: The Chinese Dream makes this point forcefully. In East Asia soccer in now \"much more than a game\"! | Softpower Soccer Supremacy by J. a. Mangan, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters | Softpower Soccer Supremacy by J.a. Mangan, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
