摘要

为了满足使民主治理更具预见性的需要,近几十年来,各国议会越来越多地努力让当选的立法者直接参与应对未来风险和预测长期发展。从一般民主制度原则的层面来看,让立法者参与国家层面的前瞻性工作,通过扩大参与政策工作的民主行为者的范围,预计几乎会自动提高未来决策的一般合法性。然而,即使是立法机构展望活动对决策产生影响的基本机制,在很大程度上也是未知的。为了建立一个初步框架来检测和比较这些机制,我们借鉴了最制度化和最有影响力的立法机构展望单位--芬兰议会未来委员会--的经验。我们总结出议会未来委员会可以为国家级战略展望做出宝贵贡献的三个一般机制:(1)它们可以通过扩大和巩固国家展望 "生态系统",提高未来决策的质量;(2)它们可以加强政治行政部门展望工作的透明度和问责制;(3)它们可以通过更具包容性的参与进程,将更广泛的民主公众与展望工作联系起来,从而提高预测性治理的合法性。

Political Institutions and Long-Term Policymaking: How Parliamentary Future Committees Can Make a Difference

Responding to the need to make democratic governance more anticipatory, during recent decades parliaments have increasingly made efforts to involve elected legislators directly in addressing future risks and envisioning long-term developments. At the level of general democratic-institutional principles, engaging legislators in national-level foresight is expected to enhance the general legitimacy of future-regarding policymaking almost automatically by broadening the scope of democratic actors involved in policy work. However, even the basic mechanisms through which the impact of legislature-based foresight activities could traverse to policymaking remain largely uncharted and unknown. To develop a preliminary framework for detecting and comparing such mechanisms, we draw from the experiences of the most institutionalised and influential legislature-based foresight unit, the Committee for the Future in the Finnish Eduskunta. We extract three general mechanisms through which parliamentary future committees could make a valuable contribution to national-level strategic foresight: (1) they can improve the quality of future-regarding policymaking by broadening and consolidating national foresight “ecosystems”; (2) they can strengthen the transparency and accountability of the foresight work of political executives; and (3) they can enhance the legitimacy of anticipatory governance by connecting broader democratic publics to foresight work through more inclusive participatory processes.

期刊介绍: European Journal of Risk Regulation is an interdisciplinary forum bringing together legal practitioners, academics, risk analysts and policymakers in a dialogue on how risks to individuals’ health, safety and the environment are regulated across policy domains globally. The journal’s wide scope encourages exploration of public health, safety and environmental aspects of pharmaceuticals, food and other consumer products alongside a wider interpretation of risk, which includes financial regulation, technology-related risks, natural disasters and terrorism.
