FLOWS OF POWER AND POWER OF FLOWS: ANALYSIS OF A CENTRAL FORMULA IN MANUEL CASTELLS
In this paper I analyze Manuel Castells´s main formula of power associated with his notion of flow, and one of the centerpieces of his sociological theory of power from 1986: the relationship between flows of power and power of flows.

Manuel Castells power flow State social theory. In this paper I analyze Manuel Castells´s main formula of power associated with his notion of flow, and one of the centerpieces of his sociological theory of power from 1986: the relationship between flows of power and power of flows.

En el presente artículo analizo la principal fórmula del poder de Manuel Castells asociada con su noción de flujo, y una de las piezas centrales de su teoría sociológica del poder a partir de 1986: el vínculo entre flujos del poder y poder de los flujos. Se trata de una forma conceptual no definida por el autor, llamativamente críptica e inasible, a la vez que absolutamente clave para la comprensión de su visión contemporánea del poder y del Estado. El estudio permite descubrir, entre otros aspectos, la relación que finalmente propone el sociólogo español entre economía y política. De tal vínculo se desprende una versión en extremo radical de la tesis del declive irreversible del poder del Estado-nación, aún vigente en la teoría social contemporánea pase a los cambios sociopolíticos registrados en América Latina en los últimos años.
