PUBLICATIONS

BOOKS:

East Asian Social Movements: Challenging and Changing the Developmental State. Jeffrey Broadbent and Vicky Brockman (editors), New York: Springer (forthcoming, 2009). Papers by 15 East Asian social scientists on the analysis of social movements in their own societies: Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore with introduction and conclusion by editors. All papers edited and submitted to publisher. Now finishing introduction and ancillary material.

Environmental Politics in Japan: Networks of Power and Protest. 1999. 417 pp. New York: Cambridge University Press, Paperback edition with revisions (ISBN: 0521665744).

Environmental Politics in Japan: Networks of Power and Protest. 1998. 417 pp. New York: Cambridge University Press. Hardback edition (ISBN: 0-521-52464-7). Based on 2.5 years of field work (1978-81) in a Japanese hinterland city (Oita City) with many interviews (over 500) on all sides of a local struggle over industrial development versus environmental pollution. I coded the interviews, as well as participant observation, newspaper and other archival data for the 20 year history of the conflict and survey data into over 800 response categories With this fine-grained data, I sought to analyze the relative effect of Japanese cultural and relational fields upon the respective capacities of the opposed coalitions to attain their goals. Concluded that mobilization, power and outcomes are contingent upon the socio-cultural ontology within which the dynamic occurs. The book won two prizes as noted elsewhere.

Comparing Policy Networks: Labor Politics in the U.S., Germany and Japan. 1996. New York: Cambridge University Press. 288 pp. (co-authored with David Knoke, Franz Pappi and Yutaka Tsujinaka) (ISBN: 0-521-49588-1 hb; 0-521-49927-5 pb). As PI for the Japan case, I received two Fulbrights and one NSF fellowship to conduct the survey in Tokyo, Japan for two years with the help of a colleague and eventual co-author Professor Yutaka Tsujinaka of Tsukuba University. As one of four co-authors, I contributed to the analysis and writing of the book. This book has become very well cited in comparative politics literature.
