| The COVID-19 pandemic swept the world at the end of 2019,providing a risk assessment and effectiveness test for China’s current governance environment and organizational system.This kind of public health crisis greatly demonstrates the uncertainty and latent nature of risk society,which is a challenge to the previous conventional governance mode and policy research that pursues certainty.During the two-year anti-epidemic activities,China not only experienced an emergency period of dealing with risks and emphasized the compulsory tools and reduced the flexible space for tool selection,but also entered a normal development stage of co-existence with risks,and the choice of policy objectives and tools became more diverse.The policy toolkit is formed with strong participation and various collocation.Policy resilience,as the policy phenomenon of the transition from emergency prevention to normal development,can adapt to the dynamic evolution of governance context and objectives,and is manifested through a variety of policy tool combinations,which are embodied in the range of tool combinations with different constraints to adapt to the emergency or normal situation.In the risk society,it is urgent to reserve resilient options in the content design and formulation of policies to meet the governance needs of different contexts.By grasping the transformation opportunity between emergency response and normal governance in the risk society,this thesis found that with the change of specific policy context,policy objectives also changed,and the choice of policy tools showed different strength of tightness.Therefore,this thesis firstly proposes the research question of policy resilience,clarifies the characteristics of its policy performance,and establishes an analytical framework of "policy context-policy objective-policy tool",to explore how policy resilience determines the logical relationship through the adaptation among context,objective and tool.Secondly,this thesis selected the central work resumption policy as research samples.Based on the policy text content and analysis framework,NVivo 12 Plus software was used to explore the evolution of work resumption policies in different context,the transformation of policy objectives and the attributes of policy tool combinations.Eventually we can come to the conclusion that the key recovery period,full recovery period and normal recovery period evolve continuously under different risks.The two policy objectives of epidemic prevention and economic development are also mutually compatible.Then the combination of compulsory,mixed,voluntary tools have formed toolkits which named "authoritative guidance+economic stability maintenance ","bottom line adherence+ vitality stimulation",and "achievements consolidation + social functions".The performance and role of policy resilience can be demonstrated by a variety of combination of policy tools.The discovery and research of policy resilience theoretically responds to the demand for policy adaptability and flexibility space in the policy design stage,and promotes the regression of policy itself in policy research.In practice,it has greatly adapted to the governance thinking "ease of advance or retreat".Based on the dynamic full-cycle management of COVID-19,as well as the demand for emergency stability maintenance and normalization transformation in risk society,policy resilience gives full play to the functions and advantages of flexible transformation,relaxation and balanced adaptation.The importance and application of policy resilience is conducive to the coexistence of urban governance and risks,and it is of great practical value to further enrich the policy scientific research. |
