I`m working on the mobilization/advocacy of the environmental civil society organizations (ECSOs) and their influence in the nuclear policy-making process in post-Fukushima Japan. I`m mainly focused on the Political Process Theory. For enriching the discussion, I would like to combine it with the Framing Issue (to examine how the ECSOs interpret the realities and construct their advocacy tools) and the Democratic Governance (to examine how the democratic structure of the state responds to these ECSOs). Any recommendation in clarifying the conceptual framework of this project would be appreciated. Many thanks in advance.
