"After the Great East Japan Earthquake: Political and Policy Change in Post-Fukushima Japan." Dominic Al-Badri and Gijs Berends (eds.). Nordic Institute of Asian Studies Press. June 2013. --- This book sets out to explore shifts in Japanese politics and policy-making following the Fukushima disaster, with perspectives offered by diplomats and policy experts at European embassies to Japan. The book addresses those policy areas most likely to be affected by the tragedy – politics, economics, energy, climate, agriculture and food safety – and describes how the sectors have been affected and what the implications are for the future. Useful reading for political scientists and policy makers, finds Hansley A. Juliano.
