Synopsis
Twenty-five years after the Chernobyl explosion, disaster struck once again after a tsunami overwhelmed the considerable safety measures at the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan. However, Fukushima had in place a solid containment structure to reduce the spread of radiation in the event of a worst-case scenario; Chernobyl did not. These two incidents highlight the importance of such safety measures, which were critically lacking in an entire class of Soviet-designed reactors. This book examines why five countries operating these dangerous reactors first signed international agreements to close them within a few years, then instead delayed for almost two decades. It looks at how political decision makers weighed the enormous short-term costs of closing those reactors against the long-term benefits of compliance, and how the political instability that dominated post-Communist transitions impacted their choices. The book questions the efficacy of Western governments' efforts to convince their Eastern counterparts of the dangers they faced, and establishes a causal relationship between political stability and compliance behavior. This model will also enable more effective assistance policies in similar situations of political change where decision makers face considerable short-term costs to gain greater future rewards. This book provides a valuable resource for postgraduate students, academics and policy makers in the fields of nuclear safety, international agreements, and democratization., The book is the first academic study to evaluate the effectiveness of Western governments' efforts in the 1990s to heighten international nuclear energy safety and to examine how, despite this, safety culture remained largely unchanged by the governments operating some of the most dangerous reactors in the world.

    The book was great! Exactly as I expected it to be and the seller was wonderful to work with. I had entered the wrong house number on my shipping details and contacted the seller immediately. The seller was gracious and handwrote the correct number ensuring I would get my package. They were very kind and professional.
