Abstract

This chapter aims to outline some of the major relationships between, on the one hand, leisure management and planning practice (and theories or explanations about how to practice), and on the other, explanations drawn from social theory which seek to account for the nature of social action and social structures in a wider context. The chapter will locate the primary perspectives on planning and management activity in relation to one another and to wider sociopolitical perspectives. Treatment of these perspectives will be necessarily brief and illustrative rather than forming a comprehensive critical guide. It will seek to provide guidance for further reading in a way which bridges the gap between the concerns of leisure management and those of social theory.
