The Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station Disaster
The 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster, the world’s worst nuclear accident since Chernobyl, still suffers from relatively little comprehensive English language scholarship and easily accessible intelligent, objective analyses. While a wide range of government and independent investigation commission reports, investigative journalist accounts, scholarly analysis, and first-person accounts are available in Japanese, English language material on the ac…
The Fukushima Nuclear Disaster and the Democratic Party of Japan
The Fukushima nuclear disaster was a critical juncture in the world's relationship with nuclear energy, as well as Japan's postwar political economy, society, and national psyche. The Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ), and particularly Prime Minister Kan, were later widely criticized for mismanaging the disaster, contributing to the party's loss of power. This article closely examines the crisis as it unfolded, assessing the degree to which the gov…
Syncretism
This paper examines how diversely organized capitalist societies evolve by analyzing the transformation of Japan's financial system since the 1990s. The banking, securities and insurance, as well as the postal financial institutions changed significantly, but are hardly converging to Anglo-American or ‘liberal market’ models. We contend that Japan's new financial system is best characterized as syncretic, with new, traditional and hybrid forms of…
Entrepreneurship in Japan's ICT Sector
Entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship played a critical role in transforming Japan's telecommunications sector. Between the mid-1990s and mid-2000s, in a sector long dominated by a stable set of large actors with wellestablished patterns of interaction, entrepreneurs introduced new technologies, new business models, and new norms of interaction. The subsequent transformation of Japan's telecommunications sector was dramatic, providing consumers with…
The Services Transformation and Network Policy
There is currently a fundamental transformation of services, a transformation central to the growth of productivity and competition in the global economy. This transformation, a response to commodification generated by decomposition of production and intensified competition in global markets, is driven by developments in IT tools, the uses they are being put to, and the networks they run on. The service transformation is changing how firms add va…
Wireless Bound and Unbound
The wireless telecommunications markets of both Japan and South Korea developed rapidly, offering extremely sophisticated and advanced wireless services. Yet, their fortunes in international markets diverged significantly: while Japanese handset manufacturers retreated to become virtual nonplayers, Korean firms gained global prominence. This paper argues that the politics of standard-setting and liberalization, set in motion by differences in ini…
The Political Economies of Broadband Development in Korea and Japan
South Korea's and Japan's telecommunications sectors developed rapidly, especially in high-speed, low-priced broadband. We argue that both countries are engaged in strategic liberalization, fostering competition to reach specific goals. However, different political dynamics pushed their initially similar policy regimes apart. Korea retained its managed competition regime while Japan experienced a regime shift
