This Open-Access-book focuses on the legacies of post-Fukushima activism, which are linked to significant changes in Japan's civil society. Thirteen years have passed since the Fukushima nuclear disaster. The Japanese government tries to convey the impression that Japan has fully recovered and regained a sense of normalcy. But Japan continues to grapple with the effects of the nuclear disaster, and the government's plans are beginning to falter. Japan's civil society, which has strengthened and accumulated legacies-such as established networks, shared scientific knowledge, and advocacy experience- over a decade after the Fukushima nuclear disaster, has been a key force of resistance to the government's plans. Post-Fukushima activism has extended its repertoire and thereby firmly shaped various legacies for future social movements.
