Chapter 4 in Japan’s Nuclear Crisis, 2012, pp 79-107 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Prime Minister Naoto Kan was Japan’s fifth prime minister within a period of five years. Directly prior to the earthquake, his administration’s public approval rating had slipped to 17 percent, putting him in exactly the same position as his predecessors whose terms in office were one year or less. Their administrations were also beleaguered with complex economic and social issues which, since the 1990s, had steadily become more profound.
