When hazards don’t make law: Structural resonance in global disaster-law diffusion, 1960–2025
This article asks why states adopt comprehensive national disaster laws. Rather than treating legislation as an automatic response to hazard exposure, we conceptualize disaster-law adoption as a process of structural resonance: regional diffusion pressures become consequential when they align with domestic governance needs and administrative capacity. Using a new country-year dataset of first adoptions across 204 states and territories from 1960 …
The role of social infrastructure in community-based disaster resilience: A case study of the 2024 Noto Peninsula earthquake
Social infrastructure plays a critical role in disaster resilience through enhancing social capital. However, empirical evidence linking community-based preparedness activities at social infrastructure to disaster outcomes remains limited. This study examines how Kominkan (community learning centers) in Japan function as social infrastructure to strengthen community disaster resilience through using the 2024 Noto Peninsula earthquake as a case st…
Development and Diffusion of the Social Capital Index (SoCI)
Social capital influences community disaster preparedness, response, and recovery. In 2020, Kyne and Aldrich introduced the Social Capital Index (SoCI), a pioneering, publicly available county-level measure capturing bonding, bridging, and linking social capital across the United States. Since then, the SoCI has been widely adopted across disciplines and applied in diverse research contexts. Five years later, emerging theoretical developments and…
Linking social infrastructure and social capital: Barangay halls and basketball courts as cornerstones of community resilience
Social infrastructure – spaces where social relationships are formed and maintained – plays a vital role in shaping disaster resilience. This study examines how different types of social infrastructure influence the creation and mobilisation of bonding, bridging, and linking social capital in disaster contexts. Drawing on fieldwork observations and 47 interviews with community members and government authorities across eight barangays in Tacloban …

Assessing the role of socio-demographic characteristics, social support and formal disaster assistance in predicting the subjective recovery of flood survivors in Pakistan
This article investigates the effects of socio-demographic characteristics of the 2010 flood victims, their flood exposure, and social and formal support on post-flood subjective recovery. It seeks to illuminate the factors best correlating with life recovery feelings of the respondents. Regression analysis of survey data showed that period of return to home, annual income, family size, material damage, and social support significantly correlated…
What you don't know can't help you: Public awareness about social and green infrastructure
Social and green infrastructure are emerging to increase climate resilience. • Public awareness and knowledge are key for successful infrastructure adoption. • Higher social infrastructure knowledge is linked to education levels. • Experts demonstrate higher social and green infrastructure knowledge. • Increasing public awareness requires policy response, such as education and outreach

The great equalizer? Mixed effects of social infrastructure on diverse encounters in cities
Casual encounters with diverse groups of people in urban spaces have been shown to foster social capital and trust, leading to higher quality of life, civic participation, and community resilience to hazards. To promote such diverse encounters and cultivate social ties, policymakers develop social infrastructure sites, such as community centers, parks, and plazas. However, their effects on the diversity of encounters, compared to baseline sites (…
County-level political group density, partisan polarization, and individual-level mortality among adults in the United States: A lagged multilevel study
Among all study participants, political group density and polarization at the county level in 2000 were not linked to individual-level mortality. At the same time, we found that Democratic party affiliation may be protective against the adverse effects of high polarization, particularly in counties with high concentrations of Democrats. Future research should further explore these associations to potentially identify new structural interventions …
The Role of Social Capital in Depression During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Depression remains a major concern during the COVID-19 pandemic. Social capital provides support for those struggling with this condition. However, we know little about its multidimensional role as a correlate of mental health. We collected data from 896 participants in three major cities in the United States, Brazil, and Japan between December 31, 2020, and March 3, 2021. Using these data, we conducted a multiple linear regression for correlates…

Exit, or Voice? A Quantitative Investigation of Out Migration Intentionality From Venezuela
Executive Summary Why some residents around the world facing chronic and acute stressors seek to exit their home communities while others do not, remains an unanswered question. People living in Venezuela face poverty, inflation, and food shortages and hold strong reasons to seek life elsewhere. Using a new survey of 100 residents in two communities in Venezuela — Santa Rita and Maracaibo — we qualitatively and quantitatively capture the intentio…
Think Globally, Act Locally? Evaluating Boston Climate Projects' Community Engagement
Successful climate change mitigation, adaptation, and transformation will require a balance of bottom-up, community-led planning and engagement with top-down resource deployment. While many non-governmental organizations (NGOs), civil society groups, and local agencies argue that they work closely with residents, especially on plans to manage extreme weather events and climate change, the degree to which local, urban-based climate projects engage…
Putting a Price on Nature: Ecosystem Service Value and Ecological Risk in the Dongting Lake Area, China
Understanding the relationship between ecosystem service value and ecological risk evolutions holds great theoretical and practical significance, as it helps to ensure the quality management of ecosystems and the sustainable development of human-land system interactions. We analyzed this relationship in the Dongting Lake area in China from 1995 to 2020 using data from remote sensing-interpreted land use with ArcGIS and Geoda. We used the equivale…
The psychological determinants of avoiding crowded areas: An international and political investigation
Social isolation is one of the most important measures to reduce clusters of infections. This research aims to explain why people avoided crowded spaces during periods of high global infection of COVID-19 in a cross-national and politically diverse sample. We conducted a cross-cultural survey using Likert-type scale questions (N = 1,196) in New York (n = 313), Brasilia (n = 283), Tokyo (n = 300), and Taipei (n = 300). We ascertained the validity …
Snowed in? An analysis of social and transportation networks in the 2015 Boston Snowmageddon
Continuous subzero temperatures and an unrelenting Polar vortex turned the 2014–2015 Boston winter into a compound disaster, causing deaths and roof collapses, shutting down businesses, and paralyzing transportation networks. Little is known about the circumstances, which enhanced community resilience and reduced impacts during this extended disaster. Using original surveys of more than 140 affected community members alongside demographic data fr…

Social Capital and Community Resilience
Despite the ubiquity of disaster and the increasing toll in human lives and financial costs, much research and policy remain focused on physical infrastructure-centered approaches to such events. Governmental organizations such as the Department of Homeland Security, United States Federal Emergency Management Agency, United States Agency for International Development, and United Kingdom's Department for International Development continue to spend…
Strong Civil Society as a Double-Edged Sword: Siting Trailers in Post-Katrina New Orleans
To meet the dire need for housing following Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans and Federal Emergency Management Agency officials created lists of potential sites for trailer parks. We analyze approved sites to track which factors were linked with larger (or smaller) numbers of trailers and trailer sites per zip code block. Areas which displayed greater levels of social capital, as evidenced by voluntaristic activities such as voting, were slated for …
Social, not physical, infrastructure: The critical role of civil society after the 1923 Tokyo earthquake
Despite the tremendous destruction wrought by catastrophes, social science holds few quantitative assessments of explanations for the rate of recovery. This article illuminates four factors-damage, population density, human capital, and economic capital-that are thought to explain the variation in the pace of population recovery following disaster; it also explores the popular but relatively untested factor of social capital. Using time-series, c…
Rethinking Civil Society–State Relations in Japan after the Fukushima Accident
The 3/11 combined disaster in Japan focused both Japanese civil society and government decision makers on the issue of nuclear power. Whereas surveys over the post-war period indicated that many Japanese supported the growing role of nuclear power in Japan's overall energy policy, the current crisis has resulted in a sea-change in public opinion. Even though some scholars have depicted Japanese civil society as comparatively weak and poorly organ…
The Externalities of Strong Social Capital: Post-Tsunami Recovery in Southeast India
Much research has implied that social capital functions as an unqualified ‘public good’, enhancing governance, economic performance, and quality-of-life. Scholars of disaster have extended this concept to posit that social capital provides non-excludable benefits to whole communities after major crises. Using qualitative methods to analyse data from villages in Tamil Nadu, India following the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, this article demonstrates t…

Social capital's role in recovery: Evidence from communities affected by the 2010 Pakistan floods
Pakistan suffered large‐scale flooding in summer 2010 that caused damage amounting to approximately USD 43 billion, claimed the lives of at least 1,700 people, and negatively affected some 20 million others. Observers have debated the degree to which social capital plays a role in recovery after a catastrophe of this magnitude. Using new survey data on 450 residents impacted by the disaster, this study found that, controlling for various confound…
Hatoko Comes Home: Civil Society and Nuclear Power in Japan
This article seeks to explain how, given Japan's "nuclear allergy" following World War II, a small coastal town not far from Hiroshima volunteered to host a nuclear power plant in the early 1980s. Where standard explanations of contentious nuclear power siting decisions have focused on the regional power utilities and the central government, this paper instead examines the importance of historical change and civil society at a local level. Using …
Mars and Venus at Twilight: A Critical Investigation of Moralism, Age Effects, and Sex Differences
Analysts have long sought to understand whether women and men have different ethical orientations. Some researchers have argued that women and men consistently make fundamentally different ethical judgments, especially of corruption; others have found no such disparities. This study considered whether an individual's age may also play a role in determining his or her moral judgment. A statistical investigation of interactive effects between gende…
The Fukushima effect at home: The changing role of domestic actors in Japanese energy policy
This paper reviews the changing role of domestic political institutions, including local governments and courts, in Japan's energy policy over the 8 years since the Fukushima disaster, focusing on the nuclear and renewable power industries. We explain how a variety of hidden subsidies created financial dependency in communities hosting nuclear power plants and led to local officials hoping to restart nuclear power plants after the meltdowns despi…
Social Capital’s Role in Humanitarian Crises
The growing scale and persistence of humanitarian crises constitute a critical problem for nation-states, aid organizations and crisis-affected people. Many humanitarian responders continue to focus on material aid, providing essential supplies and services during these crises, while other actors restore physical infrastructures. We believe aid efforts are overlooking the pivotal nature of horizontal and vertical ties within and between communiti…
First Steps Towards Hearts and Minds? Usaid's Countering Violent Extremism Policies in Africa
The United States government has adopted new approaches to counter violent extremist organizations around the world. “Soft security” and development programs include focused educational training for groups vulnerable to terrorist recruitment, norm messaging through local radio programming, and job creation in rural communities. This article evaluates the effectiveness of one set of these multi-vectored, community-level programs through data from …

Seawalls or social recovery? The role of policy networks and design in disaster recovery
Trust deficit: Japanese communities and the challenge of rebuilding Tohoku
Trust between civil society and the state is a necessary pre-condition for successful public policy in advanced industrial democracies. It is all the more important following a mass catastrophe that affects hundreds of thousands and upends the rhythms of daily life across the country. Choices made by the Japanese government and energy utilities during and after the compounded 11 March 2011 disasters damaged relationships between civil society, ut…
It's Who You Know: Factors Driving Recovery From Japan's 11 March 2011 Disaster
The 11 March 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake affected dozens of coastal communities along the shore of Japan's Tohoku region. Following the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear meltdowns, utilities, businesses and schools in some towns have bounced back to pre‐disaster capacity while other municipalities have lagged behind. The question of which factors accelerate the recovery of business, infrastructure and population after the disaster remains unan…
Bridging the Divide: Does Social Capital Moderate the Impact of Polarization on Health
Rising partisan polarization in the American public over the last decade has been linked to stress and anxiety, raising questions about how communities and public health experts should respond. As the strength of an individual’s social network correlates with better health outcomes, could building a diverse set of connections moderate the effect of political polarization on an individual’s health? This study examines the role of social capital as…
All Politics is Local: Judicial and Electoral Institutions' Role in Japan's Nuclear Restarts
Since the 3/11 compounded disasters, Japanese energy policy, especially its nuclear policy, has been paralyzed. After the Fukushima disasters, public opinion turned against nuclear energy while the central government continued to push for restarts of the many offline reactors. Based on nearly thirty interviews with relevant actors and primary and secondary materials, we use qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) and Eve case studies to illuminate…

Whether all eligible victims of a catastrophe receive similar amounts of aid from governments and donors following a crisis remains an open question. Methods. I use data on 62 similarly damaged inland fishing villages in five districts of southeastern India following the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami to measure the causal influence of caste, location, wealth, and bridging social capi…
A Normal Accident or a Sea-Change? Nuclear Host Communities Respond to the 3/11 Disaster
While 3/11 has altered energy policies around the world, insufficient attention has focused on reactions from local nuclear power plant host communities and their neighbors throughout Japan. Using site visits to such towns, interviews with relevant actors, and secondary and tertiary literature, this article investigates the community crisis management strategies of two types of cities, towns, and villages: those which have nuclear plants directly…
Information Trust Falls: The Role of Social Networks and Information During the Covid-19 Pandemic Among Suburbanites
Public cooperation with health experts and authorities plays a critical role in curbing the spread of disease during outbreaks such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Through data collected using mixed methods in May and June of 2020, we investigate the influence of information from horizontal and vertical ties on the likelihood that individuals would practice safe and healthy behavior. We look at actions such as staying home, wearing personal protective …
Triggers for policy change: The 3.11 Fukushima meltdowns and nuclear policy continuity
The Fukushima meltdown in Tohoku, Japan, served as catalyst for some nations, including Germany, Belgium and Italy, to alter nuclear policies but had no impact on the approaches of a number of others such as Vietnam, China and Russia. Why, despite facing the same focusing event, did private- and state-owned utilities in some countries alter their nuclear energy policies while others kept the status quo. Adopting a mixed-methods approach to unders…

Site Fights: Divisive Facilities, Nimby and Civil Society in Japan and the West
By some accounts, the location of America's capital was decided at a secret dinner party that Thomas Jefferson held in 1790 at his New York City residence. There, through the age-old practice of logrolling, James Madison and Alexander Hamilton hatched a plan to build the nation's capital in Virginia. "Madison agreed to permit the core provision of Hamilton's fiscal program to pass; and in return, Hamilton agreed to use his influence to assure tha…

The 800-Pound Gaijin in the Room: Strategies and Tactics for Conducting Fieldwork in Japan and Abroad
Two ideographs make up the Japanese word gaijin, the first meaning “outside” or “out of place” and the second meaning “person.” Hence gaijin literally means an outsider or foreigner, and in polite Japanese most speakers opt for the slightly less brusque sounding gaikokujin, which places the emphasis on the foreign nation (koku) from which the alien comes. But as political scientists doing fieldwork abroad, we are all foreigners, if not because of…

Site Fights: Divisive Facilities and Civil Society in Japan and the West
One of the most vexing problems for governments is building controversial facilities that serve the needs of all citizens but have adverse consequences for host communities. Policymakers must decide not only where to locate often unwanted projects but also what methods to use when interacting with opposition groups. In Site Fights, Daniel P. Aldrich gathers quantitative evidence from close to five hundred municipalities across Japan to show that …

Japanese Liberal Democratic Party Support and the Gender Gap: A New Approach
Scholars have argued that there is a broad gender gap in support for the long-ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) in Japan. We uncover strong evidence that age, rather than gender, along with rural or urban location, serves as the most critical determinant of party support. Through logistic regression, propensity score matching and simulation techniques applied to four large-scale datasets; we demonstrate that age effects are consistent but slo…

Building Resilience: Social Capital in Post-Disaster Recovery
"Each year, natural disasters threaten the strength and stability of communities worldwide. Yet responses to the challenges of recovery vary greatly and in ways that aren't explained by the magnitude of the catastrophe or the amount of aid provided by national governments or the international community. The difference between resilience and disrepair, as Daniel P. Aldrich shows, lies in the depth of communities' social capital. "Building Resilien…
Social Networks and Japanese Democracy: The Beneficial Impact of Interpersonal Communication in East Asia
Observers have debated whether or not Japan is a ‘real’ democracy or a ‘normal nation’ (Ozawa 1994) due to seemingly nondemocratic aspects of its political system, including the lengthy dominance of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), close connections between politicians and bureaucrats, and the supposed cultural traits of citizens, such as submission of the self for the sake of the group. Various scholars have already tackled the issue of one-p…
