dc.description.abstractMega-events have become more and more a part of modern life, however most impact studies focus on the economic and tourism benefits and not on underlying intangible legacies, such as social and political implications, of event hosting. This dissertation uses a case study of the FIFA World Cup 2010 in South Africa to analyse the question of how perceptions and interpretations of mega-event legacies change over time, from the bid process, through preparation, the event itself, and postevent reckonings of event legacies. As a wide spectrum of stakeholders were involved in the 2010 World Cup, the conclusions drawn in this dissertation reflect these differences of interestand how their perceptions of the World Cup legacies have changed during the various event phases. A certain trend towards legacies that need to be managed has also become visible. This dissertation shows that the World Cup leaves both positive and negative legacies behind, and, moreover, has had ambiguous and complex implications for actors involved.en_ZA
