This chapter delves into Japanese Civil Society Organisations’ (CSOs’) shift in national advocacy after Fukushima, examining the policymaking process of the Nuclear Disaster Victims’ Support Law between April 2011 and June 2012. CSOs participated in this policymaking process to urge the government to revoke the radiation exposure limit that had been raised twentyfold after Fukushima and to support the evacuation of residents from irradiated areas. The chapter views the CSO involvement as an important precedent because it demonstrates that CSOs can influence national policymaking through a Diet Member bill, which is a specific legislation initiated by multi-partisan politicians, often at the request of CSOs.

摘要

This chapter delves into Japanese Civil Society Organisations’ (CSOs’) shift in national advocacy after Fukushima, examining the policymaking process of the Nuclear Disaster Victims’ Support Law between April 2011 and June 2012. CSOs participated in this policymaking process to urge the government to revoke the radiation exposure limit that had been raised twentyfold after Fukushima and to support the evacuation of residents from irradiated areas. The chapter views the CSO involvement as an important precedent because it demonstrates that CSOs can influence national policymaking through a Diet Member bill, which is a specific legislation initiated by multi-partisan politicians, often at the request of CSOs.
