On March 11, 2011, Japan was struck by the shockwaves of a 9.0 magnitude undersea earthquake originating less than 50 miles off its eastern coastline. The most powerful earthquake to have hit Japan in recorded history, it produced a devastating tsunami with waves reaching heights of over 130 feet that in turn caused an unprecedented multireactor meltdown at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. This triple catastrophe claimed almost 20,000 lives, destroyed whole towns, and will ultimately cost hundreds of billions of dollars for reconstruction.
In 3.11, Richard Samuels offers the first broad scholarly assessment of the disaster's impact on Japan's government and society. The events of March 2011 occurred after two decades of social and economic malaise—as well as considerable political and administrative dysfunction at both the national and local levels—and resulted in national soul-searching. Political reformers saw in the tragedy cause for hope: an opportunity for Japan to remake itself. Samuels explores Japan's post-earthquake actions in three key sectors: national security, energy policy, and local governance. For some reformers, 3.11 was a warning for Japan to overhaul its priorities and political processes. For others, it was a once-in-a-millennium event; they cautioned that while national policy could be improved, dramatic changes would be counterproductive. Still others declared that the catastrophe demonstrated the need to return to an idealized past and rebuild what has been lost to modernity and globalization.
Samuels chronicles the battles among these perspectives and analyzes various attempts to mobilize popular support by political entrepreneurs who repeatedly invoked three powerfully affective themes: leadership, community, and vulnerability. Assessing reformers' successes and failures as they used the catastrophe to push their particular agendas—and by examining the earthquake and its aftermath alongside prior disasters in Japan, China, and the United States—Samuels outlines Japan's rhetoric of crisis and shows how it has come to define post-3.11 politics and public policy.
Richard J. Samuels is Ford International Professor of Political Science and Director of the Center for International Studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is the author of several award-winning books, including Securing Japan: Tokyo's Grand Strategy and the Future of East Asia; Machiavelli's Children: Leaders and Their Legacies in Italy and Japan; "Rich Nation, Strong Army": National Security and the Technological Transformation of Japan; and The Business of the Japanese State, also from Cornell.
大概是3.11前后吧,这场灾难成为了压倒民主党政权的最后一根稻草。在此之前,民主党政权已经举步维艰。从那之后,几乎所有人都认为,包括它原来的支持者,大概都认为,民主党的继续执政不仅是个错误,而且是一种灾难。而且,没有人会再相信,民主党是能够并且应当继续执政的政党了。虽然从3.11前后的数年来看,很多人可能会真的在追问,3.11为什么改变的事情如此之少?但是从7年后的今天来看,所谓政权交代从希望到失望所带来的悲喜剧,大概就是对于这个社会,最大的一个历史教训。又一年3.11的纪念日,合掌~~(推荐大家可以去听一下AKB48应援3.11的《掌が語ること》,很感人哒~~)
评分灾难没有带来根本的社会变化 但是我想应该还是有一些nuance作者没有抓住的吧 “The rhetoric of crisis infused democratic politics, empowered new actors, stimulated long-awaited if piecemeal reforms, aroused considerable public protest, and may have pushed the policy process in the direction of transparency.” 也许应该再等几年再出版这本书的
评分无语。这种历史研究真是令人厌恶。
评分问题意识很好,行文很烂。这种学者不应该仓促赶制出这类文章。
