The 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics have brought East Asia to the center stage of the global Olympic movement, in celebration and in controversy. However, East Asia’s involvement in the Olympics is century-old, and the Olympic Games, Summer and Winter, have been held in Japan, South Korea, and China a total of five times in recent decades. This international symposium brings together scholars from three continents to consider the historical contributions of East Asia nations to the Olympics and the impact of the Olympics on these East Asian societies.
