Abstract

Rio de Janeiro is preparing to host two major sporting events in the coming years: the 2014 FIFA World Football Cup and the 2016 Olympic Games. Local authorities are promoting these mega events as an opportunity to increase the global competitiveness of the city. But in order to attract private capital from the global economy it is not enough for Rio to showcase the city as capable of organizing and implementing these events. Rather, the authorities must also demonstrate that what has been considered one of the most dangerous cities in the world can now become a safe place for business. To do so, what has been promoted as a new model of ‘community policing’ the UPP (Pacifying Police Units) has been implemented since 2008 in 107 favelas. The majority of the favelas involved in the program are situated around the sites where these mega events will take place and around other wealthy areas of the city. This article analyses the relation between mega events, global competitiveness and the neutralization of local marginality. Rio de Janeiro se prepare a accueillir les plus grands evenement sportifs des prochaines annees: la coupe du monde de football en 2014 et les jeux olympiques en 2016. Les autorites locales valorisent ces evenements mondiaux comme autant d’opportunites pour augmenter la competitivite de la ville.  Cependant, il n’est pas suffisant pour attirer les capitaux prives de l’economie mondiale que Rio soit valorisee comme une ville capable d’organiser et de gerer ces evenements. Les autorites doivent aussi demontrer que, ce qui auparavant etait considere comme une des plus dangereuses villes du monde, peut maintenant devenir un endroit sur pour les entreprises. Dans ce but, l’ UPP (Pacifying Police Units) a ete mis en place en 2008 dans 107 favelas et est decrit comme le nouveau modele de la police communitarian. La plupart des favelas integrees dans le programme sont situees autour des lieux qui accueilleront les evenements et dans d’autres endroits confortables de la ville. Pour cette raisons, cette article analyse les relations entre les evenements mondiaux, la competitivite mondiale et la neutralisation de la marginalite locale.

贫民窟的平定:大型事件、全球竞争力与边缘化的中性化
里约热内卢正准备在未来几年举办两项重大体育赛事:2014年国际足联世界杯和2016年奥运会。地方当局正在宣传这些大型活动,认为这是提高城市全球竞争力的机会。但是,为了从全球经济中吸引私人资本,里约仅仅展示自己有能力组织和实施这些活动是不够的。相反,当局还必须证明,这个被认为是世界上最危险的城市之一,现在可以成为一个安全的商业场所。为此,自2008年以来,已在107个贫民窟实施了“社区警务”新模式UPP(安抚警察部队)。参与该计划的大多数贫民窟都位于这些大型活动的举办地周围和城市其他富裕地区周围。本文分析了大型赛事、全球竞争力和地方边缘性消除之间的关系。里约热内卢将在2014年和2016年分别举办两届世界足球盛会和两届奥运会。市政府、市政府、市政府、市政府、市政府、市政府、市政府、市政府、市政府、市政府、市政府、市政府、市政府、市政府、市政府、市政府、市政府、市政府、市政府、市政府、市政府、市政府、市政府、市政府、市政府、市政府。在此之前,我将继续为我的私人资本提供充足的资金,为我的经济发展提供充足的资金,为我的私人经济发展提供充足的资金,为我的私人经济发展提供充足的资金。当局不像其他国家的政府那样,不像其他国家的政府那样,不像其他国家的政府那样,不像其他国家的政府那样,不像其他国家的政府那样,不像其他国家的政府那样,不像其他国家的政府那样。2008年,在107个贫民窟设立了“治安警察部队”(UPP),并将其命名为“警察社群主义的新模式”。城市规划为城市规划提供便利,城市规划为城市规划提供便利,城市规划为城市规划提供便利,城市规划为城市规划提供便利。基于这些原因,本文分析了“世界事件”、“竞争世界”、“中立世界”和“边缘地区”之间的关系。
