AB This paper outlines the case for the analysis of tourism, power and place in the developmentprocess from a critical sociological perspective. It draws on recent trends in the sociology of developmentto develop existing theoretical models in a manner which transcends the more rigid dualisms betweenstructure and agency on the one hand, and, the concerns of power and identity on the other. As inrecent works from noted scholars such as Picard and Wood (1997), the relationship between tourism andprocesses of development and social transformation are more nuanced and varied than previous ‘theoretical’models in tourism have recognised. Hence, this paper examines the issue by considering fourmajor thematic areas of relevance to the study of tourism and its diverse relationships to processes ofsocial change: the relations of community, consumption, production and place.
