繁體版（認同的力量）C5 權力式微的國家（經濟、媒體、國際關係與世界性議題、民族主義的挑戰）

和Castells大部分著作一样，框架宏大，细节论述不够深入，但民族国家衰弱及其影响的论述还不错，比较重要的是三种identity的划分，identity对social movement的implications。专业必读但略微枯燥。

三星半。踩时兴热点包装出炉的书。全球化网络社会民族国家的衰落社运的新特征等等。稍微有点意思的是用identity的视角看社运，提出resistance identity/project identity，可以顺着这个思路去想一种反抗式的(reactive)的运动是否有扩展civil society的可能性。但就自身的叙述来说，分析层次上非常弱，贴标签拼凑的感觉很强。智识上不深厚经验上不扎实。

1、又读了一些章节发现还是写得挺好的；2、全球化网络型社会中基于“公民社会”的合法化身份认同的衰落，与基于“共同体”的反抗性认同的兴起构成了有趣的twist；3、人们并没法真正回到传统的“共同体”，但是面临全球化的冲击，基于“共同体”的文化资源比基于“公民社会”的资源更好用；4、动员的成败取决于运动领导者能否因地制宜创造直指人心的符号；5、但是对于第四点的论证并无太大说服力；6、工会、政党的衰落给社会运动预留了空间，可那并不意味着后者就一定成为有效的全球治理主体啊；7、所以不太认同作者的结论。没有组织技术的革新，反全球化的“文化”一定是脆弱的。
