Abstract

Policy capacity plays a pivotal role in shaping the extent of global governmental responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. While scholars have primarily examined this phenomenon through individual case studies, focusing on demographic variables that influence governments' COVID-19 responses, little understanding exists regarding how existing policy capacities (systemic, organizational, and individual) have either constrained or empowered governments to navigate the pandemic diversely. To address this gap, our study focuses on the worldwide patterns of school closures and re-openings during COVID-19. Utilizing configurational analysis on data from 110 countries, we reveal that factors such as less professional organizational capacities, flawed individual leadership capacities, and contextual factors such as heightened political polarization serve as quasi-sufficient conditions for longer school closures, while their significant presence leads to extended periods of schools remaining open. The research is supported by detailed case studies of the US, Colombia, Israel, and South Korea, elucidating diverse policy trajectories and combinations influencing prolonged closures or swift re-openings.

大流行病时期的学校管理:对政策能力在学校关闭中的作用的集合理论分析
政策能力在影响全球政府应对 COVID-19 大流行的程度方面起着关键作用。虽然学者们主要通过个案研究来研究这一现象,重点关注影响政府 COVID-19 应对措施的人口变量,但对于现有政策能力(系统、组织和个人)是如何限制或增强政府应对这一流行病的能力的,却知之甚少。为了弥补这一不足,我们的研究重点关注 COVID-19 期间全球范围内学校关闭和重新开放的模式。通过对来自 110 个国家的数据进行配置分析,我们发现,专业组织能力不足、个人领导能力缺陷等因素以及政治两极分化加剧等背景因素是延长学校关闭时间的准充分条件,而这些因素的显著存在则导致学校延长开放时间。美国、哥伦比亚、以色列和韩国的详细案例研究为本研究提供了支持,阐明了影响学校长期关闭或迅速重新开放的各种政策轨迹和组合。

期刊介绍: Governance provides a forum for the theoretical and practical discussion of executive politics, public policy, administration, and the organization of the state. Published in association with International Political Science Association''s Research Committee on the Structure & Organization of Government (SOG), it emphasizes peer-reviewed articles that take an international or comparative approach to public policy and administration. All papers, regardless of empirical focus, should have wider theoretical, comparative, or practical significance.
