Diversity of the Disaster Recovery Mechanism and Recovery from Nuclear Disaster in Fukushima

Abstract

In this paper, we interpret the conflict between the Japanese company-based regulation system and the disaster recovery mechanism in Japan, and describe the main obstacles affecting Fukushima's recovery from nuclear disaster from the viewpoint of Régulation Theory. We also explain the necessity of a Social unit-based Institutional Coodination Mechanism to aid the recovery efforts in Fukushima Prefecture.
