The story told by Havelange himself describes a private odyssey in which the protagonist crisscrosses two thirds of the world canvassing for votes and challenging the institutional \u003cem\u003estatus quo\u003c\/em\u003e. For many scholars, Havelange's triumph changed FIFA's (International Federation of Football Association) identity, gradually turning it into a global and immensely wealthy institution. Conversely, the election can be analyzed as a historical event. It can be thought of as a \u003cem\u003epolitical window\u003c\/em\u003e by means of which the international dynamic of a specific moment in the Cold War can be perceived. In this regard, this book seeks to understand which actors were involved in the election, how the networks were shaped, and which political agents were directly engaged in the campaign. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Luiz Burlamaqui\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3110759683\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783110759686\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Walter de Gruyter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/20\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Luiz Burlamaqui","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44069285789951,"sku":"9783110759686","price":111.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2e63896f-fa48-41bf-80ba-56dfea50f30d.jpg?v=1685423876","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-making-of-a-global-luiz-burlamaqui-9783110759686","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
