摘要
本文从集体学习的角度考察了欧盟财政援助制度的政策变化。通过将财政援助制度定义为在危机管理背景下管理向成员国提供资金的支付和撤回的一套规则,本文试图解决以下研究问题:我们如何解释欧元危机和2019冠状病毒病大流行之间欧盟财政援助制度变化的确切形式?文章发现,欧盟的财政援助从与欧洲稳定机制(European Stability Mechanism)的“政府间协调”转变为与复苏和弹性基金(Recovery and Resilience Facility)的一种“有限超国家授权”形式,并认为这种变化是由于集体的政策学习过程。这一发现表明,欧盟往往会从过去的危机经验中吸取教训,只有当下一次危机成为令人担忧的具体原因时,才会将自己从既定的制度约束中解放出来。然而,当下一次危机来袭时,欧盟确实能够根据以往的政策失败从根本上改变其做法。
Collective Policy Learning in EU Financial Assistance: Insights from the Euro Crisis and Covid‐19
This article examines policy change in the EU’s financial assistance regime through a collective learning perspective. By defining a financial assistance regime as the set of rules governing the disbursement and withdrawal of funding to the member states in the context of crisis management, the article seeks to address the following research question: How can we explain the exact form of change in the EU’s financial assistance regime between the euro crisis and the Covid-19 pandemic? The article finds that financial assistance in the EU moved from “intergovernmental coordination” with the European Stability Mechanism to a form of “limited supranational delegation” with the Recovery and Resilience Facility and argues that such a change is due to a collective policy-learning process. This finding suggests that the EU tends to learn from past crisis experiences, freeing itself from established institutional constraints, only when the next crisis becomes a concrete cause for concern. However, when the next crisis strikes, the EU is indeed able to radically alter its practices based on previous policy failures.
