  • Globalisation and Identity a Comparative Perspective
    01 transfer// 2 0 0 6 Manuel Castells Globalisation and identity A comparative perspective Globalisation and the strengthening of various cultural identities (religious, national, ethnic, geographic, and gender, among others) have occurred over the last fifteen years. In my view, this is no coincidence but rather the product of a systemic relationship between the two phenomena. 1. TWO SIMULTANEOUS PROCESSES It is not immediately because the idea has taken root that globalisation requires a global, cosmopolitan culture. Their are several variations on this theme. Some talk of unification and cultural homogenisation of the world and criticise the process. Others consider that globalisation will overcome local and historical identities, supercede some ideologies, and produce an undifferentiated universal human culture. I believe that both the quest for a new universal cultural to sweep away historical cultures is misguided, while fear that “Americanisation” will wipe out historically-based cultural identities is unfounded. This vision of economic development and globalisation is really no more than an extension of the two great rationalist movements providing the cultural and ideological foundations of the contemporary world —Liberalism and Marxism. Both schools of thought are based on a negation of historical, religious, and ethnic construction of identity, and stress new ideals (the Citizen of the World or Soviet Man, respectively). Each of these models has its own traits but they both coincide in considering any other distinction as artificial. I emphasise this because at the moment this is the dominant ideology in our society and in Europe as a whole. It is the rationalist approach, in both its Liberal and Marxist guises.

    Annual Newsletter of the Slavic-Eurasian Research Center, Hokkaido University LAVIC-EURASIAN ESEARCH NO. 27 ENTER NEWS March 2021 2020 Summer International Symposium “Northeast Asia: Pitfalls and Prospects, Past and Present” On July 2–3, 2020, the Slav- ic-Eurasian Research Center held its international summer sympo- sium on “Northeast Asia: Pitfalls and Prospects, Past and Present.” As a response to COVID-19, the event was held online over Zoom, rather than in person. The first half of the symposium, sessions 1 and 2, were devoted to providing a platform for researchers associ- ated with the NIHU Area Studies Project for Northeast Asia (NoA- SRC) to discuss their findings Zoom symposium outgoing with researchers from overseas, while the latter half, sessions 3 and 4, was turned over to debate among the members of David Wolff’s JSPS project on “Multi-Archival Analysis of Critical Junctures in Post-war Northeast Asia.” With the strategic concerns of the United States and China shifting south, to the In- do-Pacific, the focus of Sessions 1 and 2 was on bringing novel perspectives and shining new light on Northeast Asia as a regional ideal, one which has not been institutionalized in the aftermath of the Cold War. Session 1, on “Bottlenecks to Regional Cooperation,” was divided into two parts. The first of these debated the hard bottleneck of contested sovereignty, and the soft bottleneck represented by the ‘politics of distrust’ in Japan and Korea, which not only poisons international relations between the two countries but also is at the root of many social problems.

  • Some Reflections on Manuel Castells' Book Networks of Outrage And
    tripleC 10(2): 775-797, 2012 ISSN 1726-670X http://www.triple-c.at Some Reflections on Manuel Castells’ Book Networks of Outrage and Hope. Social Movements in the Internet Age. Christian Fuchs [email protected], http://fuchs.uti.at Abstract: This paper provides critical reflections on Manuel Castells’ (2012) book Networks of Outrage and Hope. Social Movements in the Internet Age that analyses the “nature and perspectives of networked social movements” (p. 4) and gives special focus to the role of “social media” in movements that emerged in 2011 in Tunisia, Iceland, Egypt, Spain and the United States. I situate Castells’ book in an intellectual discourse that focuses on the political implications of social media and that has involved Clay Shirky, Malcolm Gladwell and Evgeny Morozov. The article also discusses the role of social theory and empirical research in Castells’ book, presents as an alternative a theoretical model of the relationship between social movements and the media, discusses the implications that some empirical data that focus on social media in the Egyptian revolution and the Occupy Wall Street movement have for Castells’ approach, discusses how Castells positions himself to- wards capitalism and compares his explanation of the crisis and his political views to David Harvey’s ap- proach.

  • Globalisation, Networking, Urbanisation: Reflections on the Spatial Dynamics of the Information Age
    47(13) 2737–2745, November 2010 Globalisation, Networking, Urbanisation: Reflections on the Spatial Dynamics of the Information Age Manuel Castells [Paper first received, February 2008; in final form, September 2008] Abstract The network society is a global society because networks have no boundaries. Spatial transformation is a fundamental dimension of this new social structure. The global process of urbanisation that we are experiencing in the early 21st century is characterised by the formation of a new spatial architecture in our planet, made up of global networks connecting major metropolitan regions and their areas of influence. Since the networking form of territorial arrangements also extends to the intrametropolitan structure, our understanding of contemporary urbanisation should start with the study of these networking dynamics in both the territories that are included in the networks and in the localities excluded from the dominant logic of global spatial integration. The network society is a global society because networks and in the localities excluded from networks have no boundaries.

Demography and population matters in the future of humanity Demography is in some countries a branch of statistics. In others it might have a place of its own in the context of social sciences, engaged in scientific theorising not only on methods but also on the substance of its matter. Irrespective of such differences, as a science demography appears virtually everywhere to develop in a dialectic relation to development and politics - demographers are often called in to give support both to politicians and to planners. How demographers handle the delicate balancing between autonomous critical science and policy- serving applied science, has varied over time and given distinct marks on its articulation among other social sciences. Ever since the days of Thomas Malthus, demographers have in varying degrees concerned themselves with the destiny of humankind.

  • Conflicts in the North Caucasus
    Central Asian Survey, (1998), 17(3), 409-441. Conflicts in the North Caucasus SVANTE E. CORNELL* Although the conflicts that have attracted most international attention in the post- cold war era have been those of the Transcaucasus, another area of both potential and actual turmoil is the North Caucasus. The first example of serious conflicts in the area, naturally, is the war in Chechnia. However, the existence of this war, and its astonishing cruelty and devastation, has been instrumental in obscuring the other grievances that exist in the area, and that have the potential to escalate into open conflict. These can be divided into two main categories, which however spill over into one another. The first type of conflicts are those among the peoples of the region; the second type is conflicts between these peoples and Russia. Doubtlessly, the main example of the unrest in the North Caucasus has been the short but bloody war between the Ingush and the Ossetians. However, this war distinguishes itself only by being the only one of the conflicts in the region that has escalated into war. Among the other known problems, three issues call for special attention: First and perhaps most pressingly, the bid for unity of the Lezgian people in Dagestan and Azerbaijan; Second, the latent problem between the Turkic Karachai and the Circasssian peoples in the two neighbour republics of Karachaevo-Cherkessia and Kabardino-Balkaria; and thirdly the condition of the most complex of all the North Caucasian republics: Dagestan. It seems logical in this study to start with the most well-known of these issues: the war that raged in November 1992 in the Prigorodniy raion between the Ingush and the North Ossetians.

  • Castells' Network Concept and Its Connections to Social, Economic
    Castells’ network concept and its connections to social, economic and political network analyses Ari-Veikko Anttiroiko School of Management, University of Tampere, Finland [email protected] Abstract This article discusses the conceptualization of network in Manuel Castells’ theory of network society and its relation to network analysis. Networks assumed a significant role in Castells’ opus magnum, The Information Age trilogy, in the latter half of the 1990s. He became possibly the most prominent figure globally in adopting network terminology in social theory, but at the same time he made hardly any empirical or methodological contribution to network analysis. This article sheds light on this issue by analyzing how the network logic embraced by Castells defines the social, economic, and political relations in his theory of network society, and how such aspects of his theory relate to social network analysis. It is shown that Castells’ institutional network concept is derived from the increased relevance of networks as the emerging form of social organization, epitomized by the idea of global networks of instrumental exchanges. He did not shed light on the internal dynamics of networks, but was nevertheless able to use network as a powerful metaphor that aptly portrayed his idea of the new social morphology of informational capitalism. Keywords Manuel Castells, network, network society, informationalism, The Information Age, social theory, political economy, social network analysis Introduction Manuel Castells created one of the most ambitious macro theories of our time, which endeavored to interpret the transformation of contemporary society as a reflection of the transition from industrial to informational mode of development.
