| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Based on consideration of the disaster that was the Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011, this research project has, from the viewpoint of institutionalization, explored the construction of a self-reflective society reliant on the rich and free flow of information. To create institutional schemes that will help materialize such a society, where deliberated opinions are widely shared among its citizens, the project has underscored the importance of the co-existence of plural agents of various types of media, as well as the indispensability of incorporating organizations operated by principles other than majoritarianism in the public decision-making process. It has also examined the conditions for controlling adequately the negative influence of groundless rumor and expressions of prejudice and hate caused as a side effect of the free flow of information not through direct prohibition but rather through public education and various forms of counterexpression.
