  • Nuclear Energy Policy and the National Deliberative Poll
    Nuclear Energy Policy and the National Deliberative Poll Yasunori Sone Keio University, Japan [email protected] “Public Policy and Public Consultation: Deliberative Democracy in Asia” May 20-21, 2016 Nanyang Technological University, Singapore Summary The National Deliberative Poll on Energy and Environmental Policy was conducted in August 4-5, 2012. James Fishkin described it as “the first Deliberative Poll® (DP) anywhere in the world that was commissioned by a government to get input on a subject of national importance before a national decision.” This paper focuses on three aspects of Deliberative Polling in the policy making process. 1) Why the government adopted it as a tool of public consultation in the formal decision making process, 2) what were the poll results, and 3) how the government used it for their policy decisions. Interestingly, the poll shows us that the 285 randomly selected participants became more informed and changed their views on certain policy options. The public finally supported the zero nuclear option and concern for safety as a first criterion. It also shows that the public could not find any reliable authority to judge important key respects. It seems to be an “anomie” situation where there is no trust at all even in the nuclear specialists. After an ad hoc committee of specialists examined public consultation results such as from deliberative polls, public comments, town-meetings, and public opinion polls by media, Energy and Environment Council decided ‘the Innovative Strategy for Energy and the Environment’ that recommended the policy proposal “zero nuclear power by 2030s along with strong commitments to energy conservation and renewable energy.” The Cabinet finally made a decision according to the recommendation.

  • Regierungswechsel in Japan Sozialdemokratie Ohne Sozialdemokraten?
    PERSPEKTIVE | FES JAPAN Regierungswechsel in Japan Sozialdemokratie ohne Sozialdemokraten? SVEN SAALER Juni 2010 Am 2. Juni 2010 erklärte der japanische Premierminister Yukio Hatoyama nach nur achteinhalb Monaten Regierungszeit seinen Rücktritt. Zusammen mit Hatoyama trat der mächtige Generalsekretär der Demokratischen Partei Japans (DPJ), Ichirô Ozawa, zurück. Nach ihrem überwältigenden Wahlsieg im August 2009 hat die von der DPJ geführte Koalitionsregierung eine Reihe von Wahlversprechen erfüllt und Reformvorhaben umgesetzt. Hatoyama scheiterte aber letztlich am Unvermögen, eine selbst gesetzte Frist zur Verlegung eines US-Stützpunktes auf der südlichen Inselgruppe Okinawa einhalten zu können, was ihm die Missgunst der Wähler einbrachte und zum Austritt der Sozialdemokratischen Partei Japans (SDP) aus der Regierungskoalition führte. Hatoyamas Nachfolger ist Naoto Kan – schon seit Parteigründung einer der führenden Köpfe der DPJ. Kan ist bekannt als entschlossener Reformer und für seine Bürgernähe. Er stammt selbst aus der Bürgerbewegung und begann seine politische Karriere als Unterhausabgeordneter für den »Sozialdemokratischen Bund« (pÜ~â~á=jáåëÜì=oÉåÖ∑). Auch andere Mitglieder des neuen Kabinetts haben einen sozialdemokratischen Hintergrund, weshalb die sozialdemokratische Färbung des Kabinett Kan trotz des Austritts der SDP aus der Koalition nicht zu übersehen ist. Die Handlungsfähigkeit des neuen Kabinetts könnte jedoch von parteiinternen Konflikten beeinträchtigt werden. SVEN SAALER | REGIERUNGSWECHSEL IN JAPAN 1. Das Scheitern des Kabinetts Hatoyama Eine Reihe von Versprechen, deren Ankündigung den Wahlsieg der DPJ ermöglicht hatte, konnte daher nur Am 2. Juni 2010 erklärte der japanische Premierminister eingeschränkt oder gar nicht realisiert werden.

Zusammen mit Hatoyama trat der 70 Prozent) sanken daher rapide, auf zuletzt 17 einflussreiche Generalsekretär der Demokratischen Prozent.

As these financial crises deepened, countries shifted their policies away from postponing financial sector restructuring toward more thorough reforms. The impacts of different political structures are examined through the Small-N Case Study method. Cases include: the bursting of the financial bubble in the 1990s in Japan and the Savings and Loan crisis in the 1980s in the USA, both of which are analyzed through a review of academic literature, journalistic writings, and statistical data from the World Wide Web.

  • East Asian Community” in Vain
    ISS Discussion Paper Series F-172 Building an “East Asian Community” in vain: Japan's Power Shift and Regionalism in the New Millennium Hiroyuki Hoshiro1 1 Institute of Social Science, The University of Tokyo ([email protected]) 1 Abstract In August 2009, as a result of the “historical” general election of Japan, the Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) gained legislative majority and took over the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) government, which had been in power for more than 16 years. One of the most noteworthy foreign policies launched by the new Japanese government was aimed at building an “East Asian Community;” however, little progress was observed with regards to the promotion of economic regionalism, during the DPJ era (2009-2012). Why was this policy not as actively pursued by the DPJ cabinet as originally intended? This is puzzling, given the fact that economic regionalism was one of the Prime Minister’s most favored policies; and that there was an absence of significant objections from opposition parties with regards to this policy. This paper addresses this question by elucidating factors that promoted or impeded the building of an “East Asian Community” from the perspective of Japanese domestic politics. In particular, this paper sheds light on the preferences of the existing societal organizations of land, capital, and labor, on the one hand, and their relationships with the ruling government, on the other. This paper shows that the previous DPJ government, having been an advocate of economic regionalism in East Asia, has, in fact, experienced strong dissent among its supporters.

  • Press Conference by the Chief Cabinet Secretary
    Top > Countermeasures for 2011 Tohoku - Pacific Ocean Earthquake Press Conference by the Chief Cabinet Secretary Saturday, March 26 at 04:18pm, 2011 [Provisional Translation] JAPANESE Opening Statement by Chief Cabinet Secretary Edano CHIEF CABINET SECRETARY EDANO: I am sorry to have kept you all waiting. I have an announcement about the appointment of a Special Advisor to the Prime Minister. House of Representatives member Sumio Mabuchi was today named Special Advisor to the Prime Minister in charge of issues related to damage caused by the 2011 Tohoku ? Pacific Ocean Earthquake and the incident at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant following a request by Special Advisor Manabu Terada to step down from the position. The Prime Minister accepted Mr. Terada's letter of resignation and Mr. Mabuchi received the letter of appointment from the Prime Minister moments ago. That is all from me for now. Q&As REPORTER: I am Kuribayashi from the Yomiuri Shimbun. Regarding the change in personnel, what is the reason behind the choice of Mr. Mabuchi? How did you decide that he was an appropriate person to take charge of the response to the nuclear incident and earthquake? CHIEF CABINET SECRETARY EDANO: Actually the Prime Minister wanted Special Advisor Goshi Hosono to take up these responsibilities as he is already working in the Headquarters set up by Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) to respond to the situation at the power plant. However, given the enormous range of work that must be done, Special Advisor Hosono requested that the structure currently in place should be strengthened. The Prime Minister judged that, given the wealth of experience possessed by Mr.

  • Nuclear Policy Change in Japan After Fukushima: Beliefs, Interests, and Positions
    Nuclear policy change in Japan after Fukushima: Beliefs, Interests, and Positions Rie Watanabe (Dr. rer. pol) University of the Niigata Prefecture In Salzburg Outline • Background • Empirical Research Questions • Theoretical Background • Hypotheses for this study • Development of Nuclear Policy Subsystem in Japan – Positions of main actors before the Fukushima accident • Change/No change of positions of main actors after Fukushima • Conclusions: Factors explaining large-policy change after Fukushima Nuclear policy changes in Japan after Fukushima According to theories of policy change, a crisis can trigger non-incremental or major policy changes (e.g. Baumgartner and Jones 1993, Kingdon 1995, Sabatier and Jenkins-Smith 1993, 1999, Birkland 2005, Sabatier and Weible 2007). Several major changes indeed took place in Japan’s nuclear policy after Fukushima. E.g. • Setting up lifetime of nuclear power plants at 40 years (maximum 60 years), • Establishing Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) under the Ministry of the Environment, • Undertaking the Deliberative Polling in the summer 2012, • Adopting innovative energy and environment strategy, that aimed the phase-out of nuclear power plants in the 2030s (September 14, 2012) Theoretical Background: Crisis and Policy Change • Policy change takes place through the interplay of actors in a specific policy domain (policy subsystem) (e.g. Sabatier and Jenkins-Smith 1993, 1999, Baumgartner and Jones 1993, Birkland 2005). • Actors who share beliefs or interests tend to form groups or coalitions in order to translate their beliefs into, or realize their interests through, public policy (e.g. Sabatier and Jenkins-Smith 1993, Baumgartner and Jones 1993, Hall 1993). • Any move by a disadvantaged group attempting to translate its beliefs or interests into public policy and to induce policy change is usually resisted by the advantaged who usually afford larger human and material resources.
