of inquiry is to determine how and to what extent social relationships influence physical activity in high-risk minority populations. One particularly high-risk and understudied group is South Asians (individuals from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Nepal). People of South Asian descent
Glocalization and Sports in Asia
Younghan Cho, Charles Leary, and Steven J. Jackson
Asia’s sports-mediascapes are increasingly globalized and regionalized, as are the roles played specifically by global sports in the processes of reconstituting national imaginaries among local populations as they undergo the larger experience of globalization. As such, the thesis of “glocalization” developed by Roland Robertson informs the essays in this special issue that tackle recent trends in sports culture in Asian localities, engaged in a global arena. As Asian locales host mega sporting events and new mediscapes for the glocal sports industry, glocal sports fan, and the glocal athlete, the essays in this special issue propose crucial concerns for the discipline of sports studies.

Globalization, Urbanization & Sporting Spectacle in Pacific Asia: Places, Peoples & Pastness
Michael Silk and Andrew Manley
Within this paper we “hold together” an amalgam of intensive and extensive glocalization and the simultaneous reinscription of the importance of the global growth rationalities to aid understandings of contemporary Pacific Asian sporting spectacles. Through a series of four vignettes, we point to the place of sport within intense transformations within urban conglomerations in Pacific Asia. In so doing, we point to three central, and interrelated, problematics that appear endemic to Pacific Asian mega-events; raising questions over whose histories, whose representations and which peoples matter to, and for, the Pacific Asian sporting spectacle. Conclusions are centered on attuning our scholarly directions toward the structural inequalities embedded within these processes and transformations.
