摘要

由于极度依赖能源进口，日本长期面临能源不安全问题。那么，为什么日本未能开发其巨大的国内地热能资源，这些资源可以提供该国10%的电力需求?本文认为，自20世纪70年代以来，国家政策授权的地方利益一直是日本扩大地热发电的主要障碍。本文通过对国家地热政策的历史分析和秋田县汤泽市地热发电开发的实地案例研究来证实其主张。

Losing Steam: Why Does Japan Produce So Little Geothermal Power?

Japan has long faced energy insecurity due to its extreme dependence on energy imports. Why, then, has Japan failed to exploit its huge domestic geothermal energy resources, which could provide up to 10% of the country’s electricity needs? This article argues that local interests empowered by national policy have been the main obstacle to expansion of geothermal power production in Japan since the 1970s. The article substantiates its claim with a historical analysis of national geothermal policy and a fieldwork-based case study of geothermal power development in Yuzawa City, Akita Prefecture.

期刊介绍： Social Science Japan Journal is a new forum for original scholarly papers on modern Japan. It publishes papers that cover Japan in a comparative perspective and papers that focus on international issues that affect Japan. All social science disciplines (economics, law, political science, history, sociology, and anthropology) are represented. All papers are refereed. The journal includes a book review section with substantial reviews of books on Japanese society, written in both English and Japanese. The journal occasionally publishes reviews of the current state of social science research on Japanese society in different countries.
