Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Investigating various development policies and projects in Japan, Indonesia and the Philippines, we delineate political economic process how the powerful transfers environmental risks into the marginalized. In Japan, safety dogma of nuclear power had long been maintained, while its government and utility companies had distorted communication of nuclear risks. In Indonesia and the Philippines, unequal power relations between development agencies and local people, and/or central government and local government make environmental assessment insufficient and externalize environmental risks into locals. Both in developed and developing world, neo-liberal development policies bar environmental risks from been internalized and transfer them into the marginalized under the name of structural reform. Those policies make political space for rent-seeking for the powerful so that capital accumulation can be pursued even though under the climate of today's economic stagnation.
