Trevor1,443 reviews23.7k followersFebruary 6, 2019The first volume sets out Castells understanding of the changes that have been wrought to society due to the information revolution particularly in relation to various forms of networking that underpin that revolution and the changes forced upon us by this upon our conceptions of space and time. The second volume considers the impacts these changes have brought to our notions of identity, with the main message being that the network society often means we are more prepared and better able to come out of the closet, to be ourselves and to assert our rights. The decrease in the power of the nation state has been matched by an increase in feelings of nationalism, and of religious intolerance. Volume three turns to the political and economic manifestations of these changes in various regions in the world, and in terms of the growth of the criminal underworld.

Paper Type: Free Essay Subject: Sociology Wordcount: 1665 words Published: 19th Jul 2018 Reference this Share this: Facebook Facebook logo Twitter Twitter logo Reddit Reddit logo LinkedIn LinkedIn logo WhatsApp WhatsApp logo Manuel Castells is one of the most widely recognised contributors to contemporary debates about globalisation. Indeed his three volume trilogy The Information Age: Economy, Society and Culture published from 1996 to 2000 was amongst the earliest, full-scale theories of globalisation. Castells transformed globalisation from a fashionable academic concept into a a whole new phase of human history. More recent contributors such as Hardt and Negri, Held, Bauman and Giddens have arguably been writing within Castells legacy.
