The Fukushima disaster of 2011 shook the globe, arousing warm
debate and new research within the academic fields of countries in
both the West and the East on issues related to nuclear security,
public trust, government governance, risk governance and risk
perception along with technological and social aspects. The
Fukushima incident not only revealed the importance of risk
governance in the East Asian region, but also became an important
turning point in the restructuring of energy in several East Asian
nations. However, the regulatory culture in East Asian countries is
by nature different to that of their western counterparts; the
history and culture of East Asia has formed East Asian countries'
unique regulatory characteristics. This book aims to establish a
risk governance structure for the East Asian region, providing a
completely new perspective for both practical implementation and
the academic field. It focusses on the problems of risk governance
in East Asia. Through a discussion of the risk related issues
raised by contemporary globalization, this book outlines the unique
form of East Asia's risk governance architecture. It brings
together the work of top academics from Japan, South Korea and
Taiwan to provide a common picture of how these three countries'
governments are dealing with the energy transition brought on by
the climate change crisis. The various aspects of East Asia's
unique regulatory culture and governance models are placed into
context, while East Asia's risk governance theoretical framework is
outlined.
