Nimby Politics in Japan

Negative reaction to undesirable facilities in one's neighborhood - "not in my back yard" - isn't limited to the United States. Japanese communities have also resisted siting decisions for power plants and have often delayed or killed projects for which a legitimate social need exists. NIMBY Politics in Japan is the first detailed account in English of energy-siting disputes in postwar Japan. Based on an investigation of a hundred conventional and nuclear plants, the book draws on a wide range of local and corporate sources, as well as interviews with participants, to reveal the bargaining processes involved in social choices and their public policy outcomes.

המשפט הראשון: Delay in implementing a range of private and public projects, including industrial facilities and waste repositories, is an inherent feature of collective action in all nations.
