Penelitian ini menganalisis peran Peace Boat sebagai aktor transnasional dalam kampanye perdamaian melalui program "Global Voyage for a Nuclear-Free World: Peace Boat Hibakusha Project" pada periode 2008–2025. Fokus utama penelitian ini adalah mengkaji dinamika tantangan dan hambatan yang dialami Peace Boat. Dengan menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif melalui process tracing, penelitian ini mengkaji aktivitas Peace Boat melalui teori Transnational Advocacy Network (TAN). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa aktivisme transnasional Peace Boat didorong oleh dua faktor utama: faktor domestik beserta faktor internasional. Dalam menjalankan misinya, Peace Boat menerapkan empat strategi TAN, yaitu: information politics, symbolic politics, leverage politics, dan accountability politics. Meskipun menghadapi hambatan struktural berupa kebijakan keamanan nuclear deterrence dan tantangan regenerasi akibat menyusutnya jumlah hibakusha, penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa efektivitas Peace Boat tidak diukur dari perubahan kebijakan negara secara langsung. Sebaliknya, keberhasilannya terletak pada kapasitas organisasi dalam membangun norma perdamaian, menjaga memori kolektif korban, serta memperkuat jaringan masyarakat sipil global dalam agenda perlucutan senjata nuklir internasional.

This research examines the role of Peace Boat as a transnational actor in peace campaigns through the “Global Voyage for a Nuclear-Free World: Peace Boat Hibakusha Project” from 2008 to 2025. The primary focus of this research is to examine the dynamics of the challenges and obstacles Peace Boat faces. Through a qualitative process-tracing analysis, this research examines Peace Boat’s activities using the Transnational Advocacy Network (TAN) theory. The author finds that Peace Boat’s transnational activism is driven by two main factors: domestic and international factors. In carrying out its mission, Peace Boat employs four TAN strategies: information politics, symbolic politics, leverage politics, and accountability politics. Even though it faces structural obstacles in the form of nuclear non-proliferation policies and challenges related to generational renewal due to the decreasing number of hibakusha, this research concludes that Peace Boat’s effectiveness is not measured by direct changes in state policy. Rather, the success depends on the organization’s ability to foster norms of peace, preserve the collective memory of the victims, and strengthen the global civil society network in support of the international nuclear disarmament agenda.
