国际政治经济学（IPE）的许多研究一直被批评为专注于后工业化国家的大型和强大的行为体，而忽视了全球南方的网站，流程和行为体。本文提供了一个纠正这种偏见在两个方面：通过定位在两个农村中美洲社区的分析，并通过探索这些社区的消费的社会关系。在这样做的过程中，我挑战农村地区被排除在全球进程之外的假设，并探讨这些社区如何插入全球生产和消费回路的复杂性和矛盾。利用广泛的定性研究，本文探讨了资本主义通过旅游业的发展，在这两个社区的习惯，态度和行为方面的消费的政治经济学重构的方式。使用社区和家庭作为分析的网站，我探讨了复杂的方式，通过改变消费关系的不平等已经重新配置。某些类型的社会等级制度，特别是家庭内部传统的性别权力关系受到挑战。然而，其他不平等-例如阶级、族裔和国籍-也因这些进程而加剧。
Much research in international political economy (IPE) has been criticised for focussing on large and powerful actors in post-industrial countries, to the neglect of sites, processes and actors in the global South. This article offers a corrective to this bias in two ways: by locating the analysis in two rural Central American communities; and by exploring the social relations of consumption in these communities. In doing this, I challenge assumptions about rural places being excluded from global processes and explore the complexities and contradictions of how such communities are inserted into global circuits of production and consumption. Drawing on extensive qualitative research, the article explores the ways in which capitalist development through tourism has reconstituted the political economy of consumption in terms of habits, attitudes and behaviour in these two communities. Using the community and the household as sites of analysis, I explore the complex ways in which inequalities have been reconfigured through changing relations of consumption. Certain kinds of social hierarchies, in particular traditional gendered power relations within the household, have been challenged. However, other inequalities – such as class, ethnicity and nationality – have been reinforced by these processes.
