THE POSTMODERN SOCIAL MOVEMENT IN JAPAN -Sociology of Movements against the Construction of Nagara River Estuary Dam-

长原河是日本罕见的没有水坝的天然河流。在河口修建大坝的计划最初是在20世纪60年代初S为利用水资源而提出的，当时日本正处于经济高速增长的繁荣时期。由于上世纪70年代中期S以来日本经济结构的变化和经济增长的放缓，长原河所在的楚乔区目前没有必要开发新的水资源。然而，中央政府的官僚们坚持完成这项工程，即使将其目的从利用水资源改为防洪。换句话说，现在这项工程不是为了产业，而是为了自己。自1988年以来，反对修建河口大坝的运动的存在已经通过全国媒体网络而为人所知。然而，在现实中，这场运动的历史可以追溯到20世纪60年代的S。自1988年以来，这场运动开始被大众媒体频繁报道，原因是这场运动已经从一个基于工业、渔业和现代工业之间经济实力悬殊的经济运动，急剧转变为一场拯救河流的环境运动。在这次会议上，我想通过对反对修建河口大坝的新旧两种运动的比较，分析日本当代官僚主义的状况以及反对官僚主义的公民运动的可能性。

Nagara River is a rare natural river without dams in Japan. The plan to construct a dam at the estuary of it was initially proposed in early 1960's for the utilization of water resources, when Japan was booming with high economic growth. At present, it is not so necessary to develop the new water resources in Chukyo District, in which Nagara River is located, because of the structural change of economy and the slowing down of economic growth from the middle of 1970's in Japan. However, the central government bureaucrals adhered to accomplish the project even by changing its purpose from utilization of water resources to flood control. In other words, now the project is not for industries, but for itself.The existence of the movement against the construction of the estuary dam has come to be known through nationwide mass media networks since 1988. However, in realty, this movement has a long history dating back to 1960's. The reason why the movement has begun to be reported so frequently through mass media since 1988 is that the movement has drastically changed from an economic movement, based on wide gaps in economic power between industries, fishery and modern industries, to an environmental movement to save the river.At the conference, I would like to analyze the state of comtemporary bureaucracy in Japan and the possibility of civic movement against it, through the comparison of two movements, the old and the new, against the construction of the estuary dam.
