The Fukushima Effect offers a range of scholarly perspectives on
the international effect of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear meltdown
four years out from the disaster. Grounded in the field of science,
technology and society (STS) studies, a leading cast of
international scholars from the Asia-Pacific, Europe, and the
United States examine the extent and scope of the Fukushima effect.
The authors each focus on one country or group of countries, and
pay particular attention to national histories, debates and policy
responses on nuclear power development covering such topics as
safety of nuclear energy, radiation risk, nuclear waste management,
development of nuclear energy, anti-nuclear protest movements,
nuclear power representations, and media representations of the
effect. The countries featured include well established 'nuclear
nations', emergent nuclear nations and non-nuclear nations to offer
a range of contrasting perspectives. This volume will add
significantly to the ongoing international debate on the Fukushima
disaster and will interest academics, policy-makers, energy
pundits, public interest organizations, citizens and students
engaged variously with the Fukushima disaster itself, disaster
management, political science, environmental/energy policy and
risk, public health, sociology, public participation, civil society
activism, new media, sustainability, and technology governance.
