The Fukushima nuclear disaster of March 2011 left Japan grappling with profound social, political, and environmental consequences. Yet, in its wake, art emerged as a powerful response: artists turned to collaborative and ecological practices to make sense of the crisis, challenging official narratives and responding to the slow violence of radioactive contamination.

The paper distinguishes between what are offered as fundamentally different mechanisms for settling intrasystem disputes: they assume different solution criteria; they utilize different types of conflict data and different types of data gathering and processing techniques; and involve different types of influence tactics. The distinctions among mechanisms and the propositions governing their use are applicable to a very wide range of social settings--including interpersonal (e.g. the family), interinstitutional (state-defense departments), intergroup (civil rights), international (U.N. mechanisms). If an increasingly persuasive case for this idea can be made, analysis of each setting can be a fruitful source of insight into and hypotheses about other settings. (Author).
