应对不确定性:公共危机事件中政府决策的新挑战——以新冠疫情为例

Dealing With Uncertainty:The New Challenges of Government’s Decision-making in Public Crisis--An Example of New Coronavirus Pandemic

新冠疫情显示出的不确定性,使政府应对公共危机事件的难度增大。政府无法根据危机全貌做出决策,无法确定危机持续时间和影响范围,且没有法律和先验可依。但果断及时、适度灵活的政府决策,依然是公共危机事件应对的最关键力量。这种决策的顺利实施有赖于政府对公众的适当赋权,科学的进步和与公众更为有效的沟通。

The uncertainty of the New Coronavirus Pandemic makes it more difficult for the government to deal with the public crisis.The government can’t make decisions based on the whole picture of the crisis,can’t determine the duration and scope of the crisis,and there is no law and a priori for reference.However,the decisive,timely,moderate and flexible government decision-making is still the most critical force to deal with public crisis events.The successful implementation of this decision-making depends on the government’s proper empowerment of the public,scientific progress and more effective communication with the public.
