ABSTRACT In this paper, we reflect on South Korea’s relative success in dealing with COVID-19 from the perspective of state theories. Korea’s success was due to the legacies of the developmental state, combined with the elements of the regulatory state and the network state, and facilitated by IT development. We also argue that we are witnessing a new state type that no longer features the existing state types’ obsession with economic development. The emerging state type is concerned with human security and actively utilizes IT and collaborative governance to predict and prepare for future contingencies. We label this a ‘provident state’.
本文从国家理论的角度对韩国应对新冠肺炎疫情的相对成功进行反思。韩国的成功是发展国家的遗产,结合了管制国家和网络国家的因素,并以信息技术发展为基础。我们还认为,我们正在目睹一种新的国家类型,它不再以现有的国家类型痴迷于经济发展为特征。新兴的状态类型关注人类安全,并积极利用IT和协作治理来预测和准备未来的突发事件。我们把这称为“有远见的国家”。

ABSTRACT The Chinese government’s legitimacy rests on ensuring the contentment of its people and avoiding social instability. In achieving these goals, the government has been massively aided by rising living standards and perhaps by reduced poverty. However, little is known about the contribution of poverty alleviation to political contentment. Therefore, ethnographic research was conducted in eight villages to explore attitudes to social assistance (dibao), a key component in poverty alleviation. Village cadres prioritized social cohesion over poverty relief in administering dibao. Nevertheless, cohesion varied markedly between villages, interacting with styles of village governance, to influence villagers’ (dis-)satisfaction with dibao.
中国政府的合法性建立在确保人民满意和避免社会不稳定之上。在实现这些目标的过程中,政府得到了生活水平提高和贫困减少的极大帮助。然而,人们对减轻贫困对政治满意度的贡献知之甚少。因此,我们在八个村庄进行了民族志研究,以探讨对社会救助(低保)的态度,这是扶贫的关键组成部分。村干部在低保管理中把凝聚社会力量放在扶贫优先位置。然而,村庄之间的凝聚力差异显著,与村庄治理风格相互作用,影响村民对低保的(不满)满意度。

Why the initiative of free childcare failed to be an effective policy implementation of universal childcare in South Korea 为什么免费托儿未能成为韩国全民托儿的有效政策实施

ABSTRACT The paper is aimed at exploring how the meaning of universal free childcare was communicated during the first policy initiation process in 2012. In order to do so, interpretative policy analysis was utilised as a methodological approach, whilst relevant policy documents and in-depth interviews were used for data collection. I argue that failings occurred because the policy implementation was placed on the agenda with a lack of commitment to increasing the number of public childcare centres, as well as disengagement from understanding the gender relations necessary for delivering universal childcare effectively.
本文旨在探讨在2012年首次政策启动过程中,普遍免费托儿的意义是如何传达的。为了做到这一点,解释性政策分析被用作方法方法,而相关政策文件和深度访谈被用于数据收集。我认为,之所以出现失败,是因为政策实施被提上了议程,但没有承诺增加公共托儿中心的数量,也没有理解有效提供普遍托儿服务所必需的性别关系。

ABSTRACT This study, adopting a secondary analysis from the Low-income and Middle-income Family Living Condition Survey 2018, aims to investigate the magnitude, the basic characteristics, the working conditions of the working poor in Taiwan as well as to assess the government’s policy responses. This study found that the working poor are a group of people who are mainly 26 to 45 years old, high school graduates, technical or service workers. Approximately 70% of the working poor work full-time but still have a family income below the poverty line, indicating that the typical situation of the working poor is ”long working hours and low wages”. In recent years, Taiwan has developed policies to respond to it, including expanding the scope of social assistance and doubling the beneficiaries, raising the minimum wage, protecting the employment rights of atypical workers, providing child allowances, promoting the employment of the disadvantaged, and expanding childcare and long term care services. These policies all have resulted in significant progress. However, the main issue remaining to be addressed is the strict criteria employed in the poverty screening process. These criteria urgently need to be modified to allow more working poor to enter into the social assistance system and obtain assistance. Additionally, reforms in the distribution of social assistance resources and in an aspect of the tax system are suggested.
摘要本研究采用《2018中低收入家庭生活状况调查》的二次分析,旨在探讨台湾劳动贫困人口的规模、基本特征、劳动贫困状况,并评估政府的政策应对措施。这项研究发现,工作贫困人群主要是26至45岁的人,高中毕业生,技术或服务工作者。大约70%的在职贫困人口从事全职工作,但家庭收入仍在贫困线以下,这表明在职贫困人口的典型状况是“工作时间长,工资低”。近年来,台湾制定了相应的政策,包括扩大社会救助范围,使受益人翻倍,提高最低工资,保护非典型工人的就业权利,提供儿童津贴,促进弱势群体就业,扩大儿童保育和长期护理服务。这些政策都取得了重大进展。然而,仍待解决的主要问题是在贫穷甄别过程中采用的严格标准。这些标准迫切需要修改,以便让更多有工作的贫困人口进入社会救助体系并获得援助。此外,还建议改革社会救助资源的分配和税收制度的一个方面。

ABSTRACT This paper aims to investigate the related narratives presented in the media and their role in influencing the policy-making process related to the COVID-19 response in Indonesia. This study is based on the content analysis of online news and in-depth interviews with the political advisors of the president and the minister as well as the public health experts invited into the core group of policymakers. The analysis of the narrative policy framework revealed a relationship between the government’s response and the changing tone of media coverage. The study also found that the media has become an influential platform influencing policy agenda-setting.

ABSTRACT Iran’s policy response to the COVID-19 pandemic illustrates how countries with pre-existing challenges manage acute crises. Already economically weakened by international sanctions, Iran’s government was forced to consider short-term tradeoffs between public health and social stability in pandemic response, with imminent unemployment and food insecurity used to justify a policy pivot from mitigation to economic continuity. This article investigates the policy responses of Iran’s government during the crucial first months of the pandemic, using data obtained through interviews structured around SWOT analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) and interpreted to elicit insights for policy capacity theory and practice. Explanations for Iran’s initially ineffective pandemic response are found to include weakness in economic policy, failure to coordinate public health initiatives, priority of treatment over prevention, insufficient public engagement, and inadequate healthcare facilities. Policy recommendations emerging from the study are comprehensive and coordinated pandemic management efforts, community-based and proactive approaches, targeted economic stimulus, and a clear policy vision for crisis resolution. The discussion integrates policy capacity into explanations and recommendations to illustrate the applied value of the concept in crisis settings characterized by uncertainty and rapid onset.
伊朗应对COVID-19大流行的政策说明了面临挑战的国家如何管理严重危机。由于国际制裁,经济已经受到削弱,伊朗政府被迫考虑在应对大流行时在公共卫生和社会稳定之间进行短期权衡,迫在眉睫的失业和粮食不安全被用来证明从缓解转向经济连续性的政策是合理的。本文利用围绕SWOT分析(优势、劣势、机会和威胁)进行的访谈获得的数据,调查了伊朗政府在疫情关键的头几个月采取的政策应对措施,并对这些数据进行了解释,以获得对政策能力理论和实践的见解。报告发现,伊朗最初对大流行病的应对无效的解释包括经济政策薄弱、未能协调公共卫生举措、治疗优先于预防、公众参与不足以及卫生保健设施不足。该研究提出的政策建议包括全面和协调的大流行病管理工作、以社区为基础的积极主动办法、有针对性的经济刺激措施以及解决危机的明确政策愿景。讨论将政策能力整合到解释和建议中,以说明该概念在不确定性和快速爆发的危机环境中的应用价值。

How effective are social safety net programs in reducing poverty risks? A comparative study of Taiwan and Southeast China 社会安全网项目在减少贫困风险方面的效果如何?台湾与中国东南地区的比较研究

ABSTRACT Using the harmonized Panel Study on Family Dynamics 2006, 2011, and 2013/14 data, this is the first study to examine poverty patterns and investigate the role of social safety nets in alleviating poverty over time in East Asia through a comparative lens, focusing on Taiwan and southeast (SE) China. We compared the extent to which public transfers alleviate poverty utilizing multilevel regression models. Our findings indicate that, firstly, the extent of poverty increased at a faster rate in rural areas and among migrants in SE China compared to residents in Taiwan and urban SE China, suggesting widening regional inequality. Secondly, social safety nets reduced poverty in all locations, and the reductions increased over time to a greater extent in rural areas and among migrants in SE China. However, such reductions remained insufficient to narrow the disparity in regional poverty trends. Thirdly, social safety nets in SE China lagged behind Taiwan’s on participation rates in elder, disability and education assistance and led in low-income assistance. Finally, although welfare policy design is more generous in Taiwan than SE China, our findings based on welfare outcomes indicate that Taiwan’s safety net did not alleviate poverty to a greater extent compared to SE China’s.
本文采用2006年、2011年和2013/14年家庭动态协调小组研究的数据,首次以台湾和中国东南部为研究对象,通过比较视角考察东亚地区的贫困模式和社会保障网络在缓解贫困方面的作用。我们利用多层回归模型比较了公共转移支付减轻贫困的程度。我们的研究结果表明,首先,与台湾和中国东南部城市居民相比,中国东南部农村地区和移民的贫困程度增长速度更快,这表明区域不平等正在扩大。其次,社会安全网在所有地区都减少了贫困,而且随着时间的推移,农村地区和中国东南部的流动人口的减少幅度更大。但是,这种减少仍然不足以缩小区域贫穷趋势的差距。第三,中国东南地区的社会安全网在老年人、残疾人和教育援助的参与率方面落后于台湾,在低收入援助方面领先。最后,虽然台湾的福利政策设计比中国东南更慷慨,但我们基于福利结果的研究结果表明,台湾的安全网在减轻贫困方面并不比中国东南更大。

Unpacking policy portfolios: primary and secondary aspects of tool use in policy mixes 拆解政策组合:政策组合中工具使用的主要和次要方面

ABSTRACT A recent resurgence of interest in policy design has fostered renewed efforts to better understand how specific combinations of policy tools arise and shape policy outcomes. However, to date, these efforts have been stymied by under-theorization of the dif- ferent purposes to which tools are directed in policy mixes and a corresponding failure to acknowledge both these in conceptual work on the subject and in policy practice. Existing frameworks do not adequately recognize the complexity of contemporary policy tool mixes, especially their hybrid and multilayered features, and how procedural and substantial tools operate and interact together in priority and supportive roles. To close this gap, we propose a revised tool framework that distinguishes between first and second-order aspects of instruments used in policy mixes and highlights the particular salience of procedural tools within them.
最近对政策设计的兴趣重新抬头,促使人们重新努力更好地理解政策工具的具体组合是如何产生和塑造政策结果的。然而,迄今为止,这些努力一直受到阻碍,原因是对政策混合中工具所指向的不同目的的理论化不足,以及在有关该主题的概念工作和政策实践中相应地未能承认这些目的。现有框架没有充分认识到当代政策工具组合的复杂性,特别是其混合和多层特征,以及程序性和实质性工具如何在优先和支持作用中相互作用和相互作用。为了缩小这一差距,我们提出了一个修订后的工具框架,区分政策组合中使用的工具的一级和二级方面,并强调其中程序工具的特别突出性。

To close this gap, we propose a revised tool framework that distinguishes between first and second-order aspects of instruments used in policy mixes and highlights the particular salience of procedural tools within them.","PeriodicalId":45051,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asian Public Policy","volume":"14 1","pages":"321 - 337"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74774686","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ABSTRACT With the nation-wide lockdown announced on 24 March 2020, India came to a standstill. Despite substantial constraints, multiple initiatives by civil society actors in providing the much needed relief and assistance to vulnerable populations during the lockdown have emerged. Considering lockdown as a wicked policy problem, we examine the roles and strategies of two civil society actors in opening up policy spaces. Our focus is on the two most livelihood-intensive sectors of the economy (i.e. agriculture and forestry) during the first two phases of lockdown in India. The first case highlights the use of judiciary to reframe the problem for agriculture in the lockdown policy implementation at the national level. And, the second case shows change in policy implementation at the regional level, again using problem reframing for the well-being of forest-dependent communities using advocacy with policy-makers and sustained social media activities. Building on the two cases, we argue for the crucial role played by the larger civil society actors in bringing the issues of marginalized communities to the policy agenda by opening up diverse policy spaces, and thus contributing to the changes in policy implementation under unprecedented uncertainty during the lockdown in India.
随着2020年3月24日宣布的全国封锁,印度陷入了停滞状态。尽管受到很大限制,民间社会行为体在封锁期间为弱势群体提供急需的救济和援助方面采取了多项举措。考虑到封锁是一个邪恶的政策问题,我们研究了两个民间社会行动者在开放政策空间中的作用和策略。在印度封锁的前两个阶段,我们的重点是两个最依赖生计的经济部门(即农业和林业)。第一个案例突出了在国家一级实施封锁政策时利用司法部门重新界定农业问题。第二个案例显示了区域一级政策执行的变化,再次利用问题重构,通过对政策制定者的宣传和持续的社会媒体活动,为依赖森林的社区谋福利。在这两个案例的基础上,我们认为更大的民间社会行动者可以发挥关键作用,通过开辟多样化的政策空间,将边缘化社区的问题纳入政策议程,从而在印度封锁期间前所未有的不确定性下促进政策实施的变化。
