Abstract

Although there are multiple pathways of conditions leading to desired policy outcomes, the viability of peace and nuclear-free advocacy can be related to the convergence of a strong, diverse, and active civil society, where leadership and a responsive political environment are well-integrated. We discuss that sociopolitical mobilizations (e.g. peace and nuclear-free advocacy), active civil society, and democratic institutions are not only linked to each other but are also co-existent. In this essay, we look at the case of New Zealand (Aotearoa) with its unique nuclear-free peace movement and find some implications for contemporary Japan, which is the only country which was subjected to atomic bombing but which does not support nuclear disarmament in its official policies, despite the presence of a long-standing peace movement and substantial majorities in favor of steps like Japan signing the 2017 Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW).
重新审视和平与无核倡导:新西兰的经验教训及其对日本的启示
虽然产生预期政策结果的条件有多种途径,但和平与无核倡导的可行性可能与强大、多样化和活跃的公民社会的融合有关,在这种社会中,领导和积极的政治环境得到了很好的融合。我们讨论了社会政治动员(例如和平与无核倡导)、活跃的公民社会和民主机构不仅相互联系,而且是共存的。在这篇文章中,我们以新西兰(Aotearoa)独特的无核和平运动为例,并找到一些对当代日本的影响,日本是唯一一个遭受原子弹轰炸但官方政策不支持核裁军的国家,尽管存在长期的和平运动,而且绝大多数人赞成日本签署2017年禁止核武器条约(TPNW)等步骤。
