Tensões Mundiais/World Tensions 2014Sammendrag
Within the BRICS countries, ‘cities of
exception’ build coalitions of government
and business in search of entrepreneurship
opportunities. Sports combine image and
accumulation, as well as the excuse to carry
out pacification and removals of the population.
In Rio, the World Cup and Olympic Games
have generated a sort of an urban revolution,
indicative of a social sense that even the poorest
people have a ‘Right to the City’ and that class
coalitions can improve society’s chances against
mega-events planners.
