This chapter explores the national advocacy of Japanese Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) after Fukushima, focusing on the implementation of the Nuclear Disaster Victims’ Support Law between July 2012 and August 2015. This law was hardly implemented because it conflicted with other government policies. Despite their strong involvement in policymaking, CSOs struggled to influence the implementation process due to difficulties in identifying actual decision makers as lobbying targets. The analysis thus highlights this as a key pitfall in effectively influencing policy implementation. The chapter also shows how, from March 2013 onwards, the ruling Liberal Democratic Party urged evacuees to return to Fukushima by introducing new methods for measuring radiation exposure.

摘要

This chapter explores the national advocacy of Japanese Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) after Fukushima, focusing on the implementation of the Nuclear Disaster Victims’ Support Law between July 2012 and August 2015. This law was hardly implemented because it conflicted with other government policies. Despite their strong involvement in policymaking, CSOs struggled to influence the implementation process due to difficulties in identifying actual decision makers as lobbying targets. The analysis thus highlights this as a key pitfall in effectively influencing policy implementation. The chapter also shows how, from March 2013 onwards, the ruling Liberal Democratic Party urged evacuees to return to Fukushima by introducing new methods for measuring radiation exposure.
