Series Statement:
The mobilization series on social movements, protest, and culture
Content:
"This book analyses the impact of the Fukushima disaster on civil society in Japan with particular attention to the anti-nuclear movement, focusing on its development, repertoire of action, mobilisation strategies, modes of operation and its impact on the state's energy policy. Combining social movement theory and civil society theory, the author draws on extensive fieldwork in Japan to explore the context of the socio-political situation in Japan up to the Fukushima accident and to offer a typological description and analysis of the anti-nuclear movement that emerged after the disaster. Through an analysis of the relationship between the power elite and the anti-nuclear movement organisations, this volume considers the influences exercised by the ruling elite on civil society and vice versa, thus assessing the effects of the anti-nuclear movement on the state policy and the society. A comprehensive account of the anti-nuclear movement in post-Fukushima Japan, embedded within a broader perspective of movement's historical development, contemporary political structures and opportunities, Fukushima and Civil Society will appeal to scholars of sociology and politics with interests in social movements"--
