Abstract

This article explores the dynamic interaction of emergency policies and parliamentary constitutional review in the early policy response to the COVID-19 outbreak in Finland. A thorough analysis of the official records of Parliament\'s Constitutional Law Committee shows how the Government\'s use of delegated emergency powers raised particular concerns about inter-institutional transparency during the state of emergency. These findings prompt an enquiry into whether delegated emergency powers and the related quest for centralized transparency-led accountability produced a rupture in the theory of complex multicentric policymaking. This analysis suggests that policy process research can play an important role in exposing the more subtle and longitudinal effects of emergency policies on democratic governance.

摘要

本文探讨了应急政策与议会宪法审查在芬兰COVID-19疫情早期政策应对中的动态互动。对议会宪法委员会的正式记录的透彻分析表明，在紧急状态期间，政府对下放的紧急权力的使用引起了对机构间透明度的特别关注。这些发现促使人们对下放的紧急权力以及对集中透明度主导的问责制的相关追求是否导致了复杂的多中心决策理论的破裂进行了调查。该分析表明，政策过程研究可以在揭示紧急政策对民主治理的更微妙和纵向影响方面发挥重要作用。
