NATURAL DISASTER AND NUCLEAR CRISIS IN JAPAN

The March 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan plunged the country into a state of crisis. As the nation struggled to recover from a record-breaking magnitude 9 earthquake and a tsunami that was as high as 38 meters in some places, news trickled out that the Fukushima nuclear power plant had experienced meltdowns in three reactors. These tragic catastrophes claimed some 20,000 lives, initially displacing some 500,000 people and overwhelming Japans formidable disaster preparedness.

This book brings together the analysis and insights of a group of distinguished experts on Japan to examine what happened, how various institutions and actors responded, and what lessons can be drawn from Japans disaster. The contributors, many of whom experienced the disaster first hand, assess the wide-ranging repercussions of this catastrophe and how it is influencing Japanese politics, civil society, energy policy, the economy, and urban planning.

This book is essential reading for anyone seeking an understanding of the events of March 2011 in Japan and the wider consequences for the future of the country and the rest of the world.

Jeff Kingston is Professor of History and Director of Asian Studies at Temple University, Japan. He is the author of Japans Quiet Transformation (2004) and Contemporary Japan (2011).
