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。

有大书风范必有大书缺陷：框架宏大、观照全局而不深入，细节颇多值得商榷之处。提出全球化下依靠信息传递系统连接起来的网络型社会中，认同政治随着传统共同体的解构反而越发重要，以广泛认同为基础的所谓全球社会是否形成尚待观察。现成社会力量的合法化认同、异见力量的反抗性认同和构建型认同相互激荡。反全球化、女性主义、环保乃至原教旨恐怖主义，其中均包含认同社群对全球网络扩展和认同冲击的抵制或再造；信息传递的快捷，各种认同此起彼伏的碰撞，也逐渐解离传统民族国家下的政治认同，形成民主政治冷淡局面。重要缺陷其一是重点实在地抗性和构筑型认同二者，国家和国家认同衰落似被过分强调；其二对社运太注重看其表面是否包含与全球化相悖的口号而缺深入探究，结果将奥姆真理教和FL功也归入构建本地认同的反全球化运动之列，闹了笑话。

卡斯特尔斯是一个很神奇的学者。我认为他就是当代的齐美尔，时常访问马贡多的犹太人。

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。
