This chapter analyses the organisational survival of a Civil Society Organisation (CSO) more than a decade after Fukushima, building on Chapter 5 and focusing on the Kodomozenkoku (Kodomo-tachi o Hōshanō kara Mamoru Zenkoku Nettowāku, National Network of Parents to Protect Children from Radiation). Its longevity is exceptional compared internationally and is examined through the lens of social movement theory. The chapter investigates the Kodomozenkoku’s strategic shift from national advocacy to local non-advocacy activities and traces its evolution from a loose network into a centralised, professional organisation (NPO) that reduced its dependence on prominent activists. Flexibility in goals, internal structure, and inter-organisational relations is identified as key to the Kodomozenkoku’s survival, constituting a major legacy of post-Fukushima activism.

摘要

This chapter analyses the organisational survival of a Civil Society Organisation (CSO) more than a decade after Fukushima, building on Chapter 5 and focusing on the Kodomozenkoku (Kodomo-tachi o Hōshanō kara Mamoru Zenkoku Nettowāku, National Network of Parents to Protect Children from Radiation). Its longevity is exceptional compared internationally and is examined through the lens of social movement theory. The chapter investigates the Kodomozenkoku’s strategic shift from national advocacy to local non-advocacy activities and traces its evolution from a loose network into a centralised, professional organisation (NPO) that reduced its dependence on prominent activists. Flexibility in goals, internal structure, and inter-organisational relations is identified as key to the Kodomozenkoku’s survival, constituting a major legacy of post-Fukushima activism.
