economies. As a city-marketing tool, these events are said to make the host cities more
visible in the international competition for foreign and domestic investments.
Infrastructural upgrades and fast tracking of urban development projects, as well as
giving focus and legitimation to urban policy makers, are supposedly the further
benefits of hosting mega events. This recalls the ‘Festivalisation of Urban Policy’
hypothesis by Ha¨ußermann and Siebel, which describes the instrumentalisation
of large-scale cultural and sports events to support image building and to catalyse
urban development in European and US cities. Given that socio-economically very
heterogeneous nations increasingly host these events, it is necessary to extend the
debate and to investigate whether the political, economic and social effects in these
countries of the Global South – conventionally labelled as the developing world – can
be explained with the festivalisation hypothesis: Are the urban development effects
qualitatively comparable and, if so, are they more strongly or weakly pronounced than
in the Global North? The 2010 International Federation of Football Association World
Cup in South Africa is a fitting example to explore the characteristics and dynamics of
mega events in the host cities of the Global South.

Seither haben sich die Events und die theoretische Auseinandersetzung verändert. Hinsichtlich der Megaevents lassen sich derzeit zwei Trends beobachten: 1. der enorme ökonomische wie politische Bedeutungsgewinn der Events und 2. die Events finden immer häufiger im ‚Globalen Süden‘ statt. Dieser Beitrag untersucht die urbanen Bedingungen und Effekte von Megaevents am Beispiel Rio de Janeiros. Der Fokus liegt auf den in zumeist informell organisierten Wohngebieten einkommensschwacher Gruppen, auf den favelas, die sich als besonders sensibles Wirkungsfeld der Festivalisierung erweisen. Im Zuge der Auseinandersetzung mit den urbanen Effekten entwickeln wir eine analytische Perspektive, die sich auf andere Gastgeberstädte im Globalen Süden übertragen lässt. Thematisiert werden exkludierende Strategien und marktimperiale Effekte der Eventvorbereitung...
