Outline of Final Research Achievements

Purpose of this research is to analyze Japanese nuclear policy by utilizing the framework of governance network approach. Nuclear policies have been created with interaction among public and private actors in the nuclear governance network (Nuclear Policy Community). This research reveals that over-institutionalization and the absence of meta-governors caused the failures of nuclear governance network.
With analyzing the dynamics of nuclear governance networks, this project affords some important prospects of nuclear policies in Japan.
