The Fukushima EffectA New Geopolitical Terrain

Edited by Richard Hindmarsh, Griffith University, Australia and Rebecca Priestley, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand

Series: Routledge Studies in Science, Technology and Society

Four years out from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear meltdown, The Fukushima Effect offers a range of scholarly perspectives on the international effect of the disaster. Grounded in the field of science, technology and society studies, a leading cast of international scholars from the Asia-Pacific, Europe and the US examine the extent and scope of the Fukushima effect as found in a new geopolitical terrain created in the disaster’s wake. In focusing on ‘nuclear nations’ and emergent nuclear and non-nuclear nations, national histories, debates and policy responses around nuclear power development and the many associated issues are revealed and critically discussed. This volume, edited by political scientist Richard Hindmarsh, from Griffith University, and science historian Rebecca Priestley, from Victoria University of Wellington, 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.
