Fukushima, Europe, and the Authoritarian Nature of Nuclear Technology
European nations reacted more vigorously to the disaster at Fukushima Daiichi than other regions of the world, with policies shifting notably against nuclear power. The article situates this reaction in the atomic history of Europe, arguing that Fukushima merely accelerates Europe's long farewell to nuclear power. Rather than being a stab in the back, the Japanese disaster highlighted the nuclear lobby's failure to find a convincing rationale. Wi…
Environmental Histories of the Cold War
Environmental Histories of the Cold War explores the links between the Cold War and the global environment, ranging from the environmental impacts of nuclear weapons to the political repercussions of environmentalism. Environmental change accelerated sharply during the Cold War years, and so did environmentalism as both a popular movement and a scientific preoccupation. Most Cold War history entirely overlooks this rise of environmentalism and th…

It is argued that these notions impede rather than help historical analysis and should be abandoned in favour of more differentiated concepts. As an alternative, the essay proposes focusing on the process of orga…
