Drawing on insights from network governance, high‑reliability organization theory, and risk governance, the volume demonstrates how Europe’s WENRA‑centered model has fostered regulatory convergence and effective cross‑border crisis coordination without relying on supranational authority. By contrast, Japan, China, and South Korea continue to face persistent challenges of institutional fragmentation, political mistrust, and uneven regulatory capacity, despite shared risks and deep interdependence.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAt the core of the book is a proposal for a TRM+‑centered governance architecture tailored to the political, institutional, and historical conditions of East Asia. The analysis identifies concrete pathways for harmonizing nuclear safety standards, strengthening emergency response coordination, and developing an epistemic infrastructure capable of sustaining long‑term regional cooperation. By integrating technical, political, and sociological perspectives, the book advances a new understanding of how regions can collectively manage transboundary technological risks and lays the conceptual groundwork for the emergence of a future “nuclear safety society” in East Asia.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"en-US\" data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"\u003eSoocheol Lee\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"en-US\"\u003e is a Professor Emeritus at Meijo University in Japan and Visiting Researcher at Institute for Advanced Social Science of Waseda University in Japan\u003c\/span\u003e.
