Castells has been an adviser to numerous international bodies including the International Labour Office, [[US Agency for International Development]] (USAID) and the Government of Brazil, whose ex-president ([http://www.gregpalast.com/how-the-us-seized-power-in-brazil/ IMF and USA-loving and exponent of the false promises of neo-liberal political/business/financial policies]) [[Fernando Cardoso]] remains a friend. Citing both Alain Touraine and [[Daniel Bell]], Castells’ key interest for most of his career has been with social movements and “post-industrial society,” or the “network society” and the power of identity and social movements.

Castells' partner is [[Emma Kiselyova]] a Senior Fellow at the [[USC Center on Public Diplomacy]] (PD).

 According to Castells, power now rests in networks: “the logic of the network is more powerful than the powers of the network.”  [http://www.geof.net/research/2005/castells-network-society Some readings] of his work are of relevance to the activities of [[ERA]] (which Castells advises):
-::"The inclusion/exclusion logic of the network “switches off . . . people and territories dubbed as irrelevant from the perspective of dominant interests” (Castells in Nyíri, 2004, p. 7). This enforces domination: “[d]omination depends . . . on the simultaneous capacity of . . . elites to articulate themselves and disarticulate the masses” [...]. Groups may choose to develop their own networks with their own goals, but if they wish to interact with the dominant networks in society they must adapt to the goals of those networks."

 This work also offers a critique of Castells whereby it occludes the role of capital:
