People with disability are an at-risk group in the COVID-19 pandemic for a range of clinical and socioeconomic reasons. In recognition of this, Australians with disability and those who work with them were prioritized in access to vaccination, but the vaccination targets were not met. In this paper, we analyze qualitative data generated from a survey with 368 disability support workers to identify drivers of COVID-19 vaccination hesitancy and why the implementation of this policy may have experienced challenges. We identify a range of themes within these data but ultimately argue that a major driver of vaccine hesitancy in this group is a mistrust of government and an erosion of employment terms and conditions. Drawing on the policy capacity literature, we argue that the “Achilles’ heel” for the Australian government in this case is the critical policy capacity of political legitimacy. This finding has important implications for where the government needs to increase/build policy capacity, strengthening its efforts and better relating to organizations that can be helpful in terms of developing public health messaging for disability support workers.
由于一系列临床和社会经济原因,残疾人是2019冠状病毒病大流行的高危群体。认识到这一点,澳大利亚残疾人和与他们一起工作的人优先获得疫苗接种,但疫苗接种目标没有实现。在本文中,我们分析了从对368名残疾支持工作者的调查中产生的定性数据,以确定COVID-19疫苗接种犹豫的驱动因素以及该政策的实施可能遇到挑战的原因。我们在这些数据中确定了一系列主题,但最终认为,这一群体对疫苗犹豫不决的主要驱动因素是对政府的不信任和对就业条款和条件的侵蚀。根据政策能力文献,我们认为澳大利亚政府在这种情况下的“阿喀琉斯之踵”是政治合法性的关键政策能力。这一发现对政府需要在哪些方面加强/建设政策能力、加强努力以及更好地与那些有助于为残疾支助工作者提供公共卫生信息的组织建立联系具有重要意义。

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic posed several challenges to the Brazilian health system, among them the general context of ambiguity and uncertainty and the conflicting positioning of the government in power concerning scientific advice resources. Different aspects can be analyzed to explore the dynamics of strengthening and resilience of the system. This paper focuses on its analytical capacity, examining how it was developed and recently challenged. The investigation employed survey data, analysis of official documents and newspaper articles, and in-depth interviews with specialists and federal bureaucrats. The research shows the magnitude and relevance of that dimension of policy capacity in the federal health system and how it was crucial to the resilience of the system in defining the directions of the fight against COVID-19 in Brazil, although scientific-based recommendations were rejected by political leaders.
2019年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行给巴西卫生系统带来了若干挑战,其中包括模棱两可和不确定的大背景,以及执政政府在科学咨询资源方面的矛盾定位。可以分析不同的方面,以探索系统的加强和弹性的动态。本文的重点是它的分析能力,研究它是如何发展和最近的挑战。这项调查采用了调查数据、对官方文件和报纸文章的分析,以及对专家和联邦官员的深入采访。该研究显示了这一政策能力维度在联邦卫生系统中的重要性和相关性,以及在确定巴西抗击COVID-19的方向时,它对系统的复原力至关重要,尽管基于科学的建议遭到了政治领导人的拒绝。

While the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were inclusive in their design, the reliance on official measurement infrastructures has upheld narrow definitions of both the terms of sustainability and development. Indigenous and non-Indigenous “governance beyond the state” approaches call these definitions into question. They highlight that disaggregated official data are unable to fully reflect alternative grounds and aspirations of living sustainably with the environment and non-human world. Relational Indigenous epistemologies and practices contribute to alternative epistemic infrastructures. In this paper, three examples from the Andean-Pacific region provide an alternative lens through which to reconceptualize and remake the SDG landscape. Together this suite of cases highlights the importance of bottom-up articulation processes, knowledge inclusion, and alternative epistemic harmonization for operationalizing the SDGs. In particular, we highlight the urgent need to renegotiate the relationship between Indigenous communities and the global measurement infrastructure in order to pursue and realize global sustainability goals.
虽然可持续发展目标(sdg)在设计中具有包容性,但对官方测量基础设施的依赖维持了可持续性和发展术语的狭隘定义。土著和非土著的“超越国家的治理”方法使这些定义受到质疑。他们强调,分类的官方数据无法充分反映与环境和非人类世界可持续生活的其他理由和愿望。相关的土著认识论和实践有助于替代认识论基础设施。本文以安第斯-太平洋地区的三个例子为例,为重新定义和重塑可持续发展目标景观提供了另一种视角。这组案例共同强调了自下而上的表述过程、知识包容和替代认知协调对于可持续发展目标实施的重要性。我们特别强调,迫切需要重新谈判土著社区与全球测量基础设施之间的关系,以追求和实现全球可持续性目标。

When indicators fail: SPAR, the invisible measure of pandemic preparedness 当指标失败时:SPAR,流行病防范的无形措施
IF 9.3 1区 社会学 Q1 POLITICAL SCIENCE Pub Date : 2022-07-16 DOI: 10.1093/polsoc/puac024
S. Fukuda‐Parr
Recent literature on indicators as technology of global governance has shown the power of numbers in shaping knowledge and policy priorities. But not all indicators have powerful effects; some remain invisible. Are such indicators an obverse of powerful indicators? Are the same process of indirect exercise of power to indirectly achieve social and economic effects at work? This paper explores the case of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) indicator 3.d.1 for the target to build national capacity for pandemic preparedness (target 3d) as a case study of invisible indicators. This indicator has had little traction, despite its relevance in the context of the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The paper explores the reasons that explain this paradox through the framework of epistemic infrastructures. It argues that the indicator—the State Party Self-Assessment Report (SPAR) score—was an inconvenient tool for the powerful actors in the global health community as it turned out to be an extremely poor predictor of COVID-19 response performance. It would have exposed not only the failings of the powerful countries that lead the policy agenda for pandemic preparedness but also the legitimacy of their expertise and the paradigm of global health security as an approach to governing health risks. The analysis highlights the tight relationship between power and the use of indicators in global governance. While indicators are increasingly used by powerful actors to reframe policy narratives, the indicator of pandemic preparedness has been kept invisible to maintain their existing framing. It thus illustrates the resilience of power structures in epistemic infrastructures.
最近关于指标作为全球治理技术的文献表明,数字在塑造知识和政策重点方面具有强大的力量。但并非所有指标都有强大的影响;有些人仍然看不见。这样的指标是强大指标的反面吗?是否同样的过程间接行使权力间接达到社会和经济的效果?本文探讨了可持续发展目标(SDG)指标3.d的案例。1 .建设国家大流行病防范能力的具体目标(具体目标3d),作为无形指标的个案研究。尽管该指标在2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行的背景下具有相关性,但它几乎没有牵引力。本文通过认知基础结构的框架探讨了解释这一悖论的原因。报告认为,缔约国自我评估报告(SPAR)得分这一指标对于全球卫生界有影响力的行为者来说是一个不方便的工具,因为它对COVID-19应对绩效的预测结果极其糟糕。它不仅会暴露出领导大流行防范政策议程的强国的失败,而且还会暴露出它们的专门知识和作为管理健康风险方法的全球卫生安全范式的合法性。该分析强调了全球治理中权力与指标使用之间的紧密关系。虽然强大的行为体越来越多地使用指标来重新制定政策叙述,但大流行病防范的指标一直不可见,以维持其现有框架。因此,它说明了认知基础设施中权力结构的弹性。

Statistical capacity development and the production of epistemic infrastructures 统计能力的发展和知识基础设施的建立

Designating statistical capacity development as a target for measurement in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) created a dilemma for statistical decision-makers in the United Nations system, as some saw the inclusion of statistical capacity in SDG17 as a “conflict of interest,” making their work both a goal of the SDGs and a means to achieve them. In 2022, there are five indicators for measuring both the statistical capacity of individual countries and the support provided to strengthen it, including one indicator for measuring a country’s ability to monitor the SDGs themselves. In this article, I argue that the epistemic infrastructuring of statistical capacity into the SDG framework is a privileged case. By parsing the interconnections between the data, actors, networks, and processes that constitute statistical capacity on national and global levels, we can understand how central these materialities and processes are in constituting the larger policy agenda of the SDGs as well as debates over the problems that statistical capacity is meant to solve. Like all indicators in the SDG framework, statistical capacity indicators are performative – defined and delineated by the global statistics community that also helps define and delineate the SDG framework’s development problems. Unlike other indicators, however, statistical capacity indicators have the added weight of also producing the conditions of possibility for the “SDG framework itself.” In this way, debates over what constitutes statistical capacity and its strengthening are also debates about ownership of policy agendas and where tensions between the local and global erupt.
将统计能力建设作为可持续发展目标(sdg)的衡量指标,给联合国系统的统计决策者带来了两难境地,因为一些人认为将统计能力纳入SDG17是一种“利益冲突”,使他们的工作既是可持续发展目标的目标,也是实现这些目标的手段。2022年,有五个指标用于衡量各国的统计能力和为加强统计能力而提供的支持,其中一个指标用于衡量一国监测可持续发展目标本身的能力。在本文中,我认为将统计能力的认知基础设施纳入可持续发展目标框架是一个特殊案例。通过分析构成国家和全球层面统计能力的数据、行动者、网络和进程之间的相互联系,我们可以了解这些材料和过程在构成可持续发展目标更大的政策议程方面的核心地位,以及对统计能力旨在解决的问题的辩论。与可持续发展目标框架中的所有指标一样,统计能力指标是实绩指标——由全球统计界定义和描述,这也有助于定义和描述可持续发展目标框架的发展问题。然而,与其他指标不同的是,统计能力指标还具有为“可持续发展目标框架本身”创造可能性条件的附加权重。这样,关于什么是统计能力及其加强的辩论也是关于政策议程所有权的辩论,也是地方和全球之间紧张局势爆发的地方。

Governance and societal impact of blockchain-based self-sovereign identities 基于区块链的自我主权身份的治理和社会影响

Traditionally, governments and companies store data to identify persons for services provision and interactions. The rise of self-sovereign identities (SSIs) based on blockchain technologies provides individuals with ownership and control over their personal data and allows them to share their data with others using a sort of “digital safe.” Fundamentally, people have the sole ownership of their identity data and control when and how it is shared, protecting their privacy. As these data need to be validated to be trusted, they may become a more important data source for digital information sharing and transactions than the formal source of identity controlled by governments. Furthermore, SSIs can be used for interacting digitally with any organization. These developments change the relationship between government, companies, and individuals. We explore information sharing and governance in the digital society using blockchain-based SSIs. In addition, the impact of SSIs on data storage in the digital world is assessed. Technology enactment might result in no greater control or privacy and might only reinforce current practices. Finally, we argue that regulation and a combination of centralized and decentralized governance are still required to avoid misuse and ensure that envisaged benefits are realized.
传统上,政府和公司存储数据是为了识别提供服务和交互的人员。基于区块链技术的自我主权身份(ssi)的兴起为个人提供了对其个人数据的所有权和控制权,并允许他们使用一种“数字安全”与他人共享数据。从根本上说,人们对自己的身份数据拥有唯一的所有权,并控制何时以及如何共享这些数据,从而保护了他们的隐私。由于这些数据需要经过验证才能被信任,因此它们可能成为数字信息共享和交易的更重要数据源,而不是由政府控制的正式身份来源。此外,ssi可以用于与任何组织进行数字交互。这些发展改变了政府、公司和个人之间的关系。我们利用基于区块链的ssi探索数字社会中的信息共享和治理。此外,还评估了ssi对数字世界中数据存储的影响。技术法规可能不会带来更大的控制或隐私,而可能只会加强当前的做法。最后,我们认为仍然需要监管以及集中和分散治理的结合,以避免滥用并确保实现设想的利益。

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has once again highlighted the importance of social inequalities during major crises, a reality that has clear implications for public policy. In this introductory article to the thematic issue of Policy and Society on COVID-19, inequalities, and public policies, we provide an overview of the nexus between crisis and inequality before exploring its importance for the study of policy stability and change, with a particular focus on policy design. Here, we stress the persistence of inequalities during major crises before exploring how the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need to focus on these inequalities when the time comes to design policies in response to such crises. Paying close attention to the design of these policies is essential for the study of, and fight against, social inequalities in times of crisis. Both during and beyond crises, policy design should emphasize tackling with inequalities. This is the case because current design choices shape future patterns of social inequality.
冠状病毒(COVID-19)大流行再次凸显了重大危机期间社会不平等的重要性,这一现实对公共政策具有明显影响。本文是《政策与社会》关于2019冠状病毒病、不平等与公共政策专题的介绍性文章,我们概述了危机与不平等之间的联系,然后探讨其对政策稳定性和变化研究的重要性,并特别关注政策设计。在此,我们强调在重大危机期间不平等现象的持续存在,然后探讨2019冠状病毒病大流行如何突出表明,在制定应对此类危机的政策时,需要关注这些不平等现象。密切关注这些政策的设计对于在危机时期研究和对抗社会不平等至关重要。无论是在危机期间还是危机之后,政策设计都应强调解决不平等问题。这是因为当前的设计选择塑造了未来社会不平等的模式。

This is the case because current design choices shape future patterns of social inequality.","PeriodicalId":47383,"journal":{"name":"Policy and Society","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.3,"publicationDate":"2022-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87431704","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Maintaining trust in a technologized public sector 保持对技术化公共部门的信任

Emerging technologies permeate and potentially disrupt a wide spectrum of our social, economic, and political relations. Various state institutions, including education, law enforcement, and healthcare, increasingly rely on technical components, such as automated decision-making systems, e-government systems, and other digital tools to provide cheap, efficient public services, and supposedly fair, transparent, disinterested, and accountable public administration. The increased interest in various blockchain-based solutions from central bank digital currencies, via tokenized educational credentials, and distributed ledger-based land registries to self-sovereign identities is the latest, still mostly unwritten chapter in a long history of standardized, objectified, automated, technocratic, and technologized public administration. The rapid, (often) unplanned, and uncontrolled technologization of public services (as happened in the hasty adoption of distance-learning and teleconferencing systems during Corona Virus Disease (COVID) lockdowns) raises complex questions about the use of novel technological components, which may or may not be ultimately adequate for the task for which they are used. The question whether we can trust the technical infrastructures the public sector uses when providing public services is a central concern in an age where trust in government is declining: If the government’s artificial intelligence system that detects welfare fraud fails, the public’s confidence in the government is ultimately hit. In this paper, we provide a critical assessment of how the use of potentially untrustworthy (private) technological systems including blockchain-based systems in the public sector may affect trust in government. We then propose several policy options to protect the trust in government even if some of their technological components prove fundamentally untrustworthy.
新兴技术渗透并潜在地破坏了我们广泛的社会、经济和政治关系。包括教育、执法和医疗保健在内的各种国家机构越来越依赖技术组件,如自动决策系统、电子政务系统和其他数字工具,以提供廉价、高效的公共服务,以及所谓的公平、透明、公正和负责任的公共管理。人们对各种基于区块链的解决方案的兴趣越来越大,从中央银行数字货币,到通证化的教育证书,再到基于分布式账本的土地登记,再到自我主权身份,这是标准化、客观化、自动化、技术官僚化和技术化公共管理的漫长历史中最新的、仍然大部分未写的篇章。公共服务的快速、(通常)无计划和不受控制的技术化(如在冠状病毒病(COVID)封锁期间仓促采用远程学习和电话会议系统所发生的情况)引发了关于使用新技术组件的复杂问题,这些组件最终可能适合也可能不适合所使用的任务。在一个对政府信任度下降的时代,我们能否信任公共部门在提供公共服务时使用的技术基础设施是一个核心问题:如果政府检测福利欺诈的人工智能系统失灵,公众对政府的信心最终会受到打击。在本文中,我们对公共部门使用可能不值得信任的(私人)技术系统(包括基于区块链的系统)可能如何影响对政府的信任进行了批判性评估。然后,我们提出了几个政策选择,以保护对政府的信任,即使他们的一些技术组件被证明从根本上不值得信任。
