ebook cover of Geopolympics. Les grandes histoires géopolitiques des JO, by Kévin Veyssière
Max Milo Editions | 30 June 2024

Pourquoi, depuis leur origine, les Jeux olympiques sont-ils un événement géopolitique à part entière ? En quoi les JO de Mexico en 1968, de Moscou en 1980 ou de Barcelone en 1992 ont-ils été le reflet de tensions internationales, malgré la neutralité politique olympique ? En 2024, quels sont les enjeux pour la France des JO de Paris, dans le contexte des conflits israélo-palestinien et russo-ukrainien ? Pourquoi de nouvelles puissances comme la Chine, le Qatar et l'Arabie saoudite ont-elles fait de l'organisation des Jeux un objectif pour leur stratégie d'influence ? Dans son quatrième ouvrage, Kévin Veyssière invite les amateurs de sport, les férus de géographie et les curieux à explorer de manière originale l'histoire de notre monde grâce aux Jeux olympiques. D'Athènes en 1896 jusqu'à Paris en 2024, il dévoile les coulisses géopolitiques les plus marquantes d'un théâtre de 206 nations où se mélangent performances sportives et jeux de pouvoir. Kévin Veyssière est le fondateur du Football Club Geopolitics, le média qui vulgarise la géopolitique et le sport et qui rassemble plus de 70 000 abonnés sur les réseaux sociaux. Il est régulièrement invité dans les médias pour ses analyses.

ebook cover of Football club Geopolitics - Nouvelle édition, by Kévin Veyssière
Max Milo Editions | 16 May 2024

Quand la guerre a lieu sur un terrain de football Pourquoi l'Euro de football s'est-il construit dans les pas de la construction européenne ? Quelles confrontations sont impossibles entre certains pays, comme celles entre la Russie et l'Ukraine, ou encore l'Arménie et l'Azerbaïdjan ? Quels matchs ont dépassé l'enjeu sportif pour devenir une « guerre » géopolitique ? Ou, à l'inverse, comment le football peut-il être un outil d'émancipation pour les peuples ? Voire participer à de véritables stratégies politiques pour les pays, comme l'Arabie saoudite et le Qatar dans leur volonté de mieux paraître aux yeux du monde ? Dans un style plaisant et précis, l'auteur nous raconte 22 histoires dans lesquelles le ballon rond s'est retrouvé au coeur des relations internationales. Il nous montre ainsi que la géopolitique n'est ni rébarbative, ni réservée aux diplomates chevronnés, et que le football peut dépasser le simple cadre du terrain. Préface de Pascal Boniface

ebook cover of Football Club Geopolitics, by Kévin Veyssière
Max Milo Editions | 16 May 2024

Why did the Euro soccer tournament follow in the footsteps of European integration? What confrontations are impossible between certain countries, such as those between Russia and Ukraine, or Armenia and Azerbaijan? Which matches have gone beyond sporting stakes to become geopolitical "wars"? Or, conversely, how can soccer be a tool of emancipation for peoples? Or even play a part in the political strategies of countries such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar as they seek to improve their image in the eyes of the world? In a pleasant and precise style, the author tells us 22 stories in which the round ball found itself at the heart of international relations. He shows us that geopolitics is neither boring nor reserved for seasoned diplomats, and that soccer can go beyond the pitch. Preface by Pascal Boniface.

ebook cover of Rugby World Cup, by Kévin Veyssière
Max Milo Editions | 27 August 2023

How was rugby born in 1823? Why didn't the first Rugby World Cup take place until 1987? Why are there so few «new nations» emerging in the world of rugby? How did the sport establish itself in New Zealand, South Africa, France, Ireland, Fiji, Georgia and Hong Kong? Are women's rugby and the Olympic discipline of 7-a-side rugby opening up new frontiers? Why are the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Saudi Arabia interested in the sport? Through 50 geopolitical and international questions, Kévin Veyssière invites rugby fans, the curious and budding geographers alike, to discover the genesis and evolution of this sport, so attached to its traditions and long kept out of the spotlight. The book's concise, entertaining approach helps readers to better understand how rugby has become part of the global sports industry over time and across continents, and how it has become a formidable tool for understanding the political, economic and social changes taking place in the world today. Kévin Veyssière, 31, an expert and professor in the geopolitics of sport, is the founder of the Football Club Geopolitics medium, which has over 70,000 subscribers on social networks. He is already the author of two books (Football Club Geopolitics and Mondial) published by Max Milo.
