Manuel Castells ((スペイン語:Manuel Castells Oliván), ; born 1942) is a Spanish sociologist especially associated with research on the information society, communication and globalization. The 2000–2014 research survey of the Social Sciences Citation Index ranks him as the world’s fifth most-cited social science scholar, and the foremost-cited communication scholar. He was awarded the 2012 Holberg Prize,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Manuel Castells mottok Holbergprisen for 2012 )〕 for having "shaped our understanding of the political dynamics of urban and global economies in the network society."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Manuel Castells )〕 In 2013 he was awarded the Balzan Prize for Sociology. ==Life== Manuel Castells was raised primarily in La Mancha but he moved to Barcelona, where he studied Law and Economics. Although from a conservative family, Castells says: "My parents were very good parents. It was a conservative family — very strongly conservative family. But I would say that the main thing that shaped my character besides my parents was the fact that I grew up in fascist Spain. It's difficult for people of the younger generation to realize what that means, even for the Spanish younger generation. You had actually to resist the whole environment, and to be yourself, you had to fight and to politicize yourself from the age of fifteen or sixteen".〔Harry Kreisler, Manuel Castells, ''(Conversations with History: Manuel Castells )'' (video interview, 9 May 2001), Berkeley, CA: University of California Television (UCTV), 2001, 1min26sec.〕 Castells was politically active in the student anti-Franco movement, an adolescent political activism that forced him to flee Spain for France. In Paris, at the age of 20, he completed his degree studies, then progressed to the University of Paris, where he earned a doctorate in sociology. At the age of twenty-four, Castells became an instructor in several parisian universities from 1967 to 1979; first at the Paris X University Nanterre (where he taught Daniel Cohn-Bendit), which fired him because of the 1968 student protests, then at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, from 1970 to 1979. In 1979, the University of California, Berkeley appointed him as Professor of Sociology, ''and'' Professor of City and Regional Planning. In 2001, he was a research professor at the UOC-Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (Open University of Catalonia), Barcelona. In 2003, he joined the University of Southern California (USC) Annenberg School for Communication, as a Professor of Communication and the first Wallis Annenberg-endowed Chair of Communication and Technology.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Endowed Faculty Chairs )〕 Castells is a founding member of the USC Center on Public Diplomacy, and a senior member of the diplomacy center's Faculty Advisory Council; and is a member of the (Annenberg Research Network on International Communication ).
