  • "Der Fall der Sowjetunion, Ausgangspunkt dieses Bandes, zeigt die Unfähigkeit zentralistischer Staatswirtschaften, mit der Transformation zum Informationszeitalter fertig zu werden. Aber Ungleichheit, Polarisierung und sozialer Ausschluss als Folgen der Globalisierung zeigen sich dem Autor weltweit, u.a. an städtischer Armut, an der Not der Kinder. Zugleich zeigt Castells, dass und wie eine global organisierte Kriminalität Wirtschaft und Politik vieler Länder bedroht. Schließlich lenkt er den Blick auf den asiatisch-pazifischen Raum als einen der wichtigsten Einflussfaktoren der Weltwirtschaft. Im dritten Band liefert Castells schließlich das Resümee der Trilogie. Es bietet auf der Basis einer ungeheuren Materialfülle und -analyse die systematische Interpretation unserer Welt zur Jahrtausendwende."
  • ""Manuel Castells concludes the Information Age trilogy by considering the intersection of the global network society and factional project identities. As always, the scope of Castell's argument is far-ranging. Among the subjects addressed are the collapse of the Soviet Union; the potential emergence of the Asian Pacific as the next region of major world power; and the rapidly increasing growth of a "Fourth World"--A series of "black holes of informational capitalism" (areas that have been cut off from the flow of wealth and information in the global economy) that refuses to confine itself to national borders--as likely to appear in the American inner city as it is in sub-Saharan Africa. He also raises the specter of a "global criminal economy," a dark counterpart to transnational corporations, and suggests that trends such as fascination with gangster movies "may well indicate the cultural breakdown of traditional moral order, and the implicit recognition of a new society, made up of communal identity and unruly competition." End of Millennium is perhaps the most accessible of Castell's three volumes, expertly reading the pulse of late-20th-century social trends. It's bound to provoke debate about any efforts to shape the trends of the 21st century."-- from http://www.amazon.com (April 12, 2011)."
