Slovakya ve Avusturya’da Covid-19 ile Mücadele: Türkiye için ve Türkiye’den Dersler

Küresel bir mücadeleyi zorunlu kılan COVID-19 Pandemisi, ülkelerde bir belirsizlik dönemini başlatmıştır. Mevcut belirsiz durum, Pandemi ile mücadelede hangi politikaların uygulanması gerektiği konusundaki tartışmaları hızlandırdı. COVID-19 salgınını yavaşlatmak ve önlemek için farklı ülkelerde farklı politikalar uygulandı. Ulusal politikaların etkinliği değerlendirilirken başarılı örneklerden dersler çıkarılması ve benimsenmesi kritik hale geldi. Öte yandan, politika başarısızlıkları yoluyla da politikalar gözden geçirilebilir. Bu çalışma kapsamında Orta Avrupa'da Pandemi ile mücadelede başarılı olan Avusturya ve Slovakya üzerine bir vaka çalışması yapılmıştır. Bu örneklerden çıkarılacak derslerin bir kısmı Türkiye'nin Pandemi ile mücadelesine katkı sağlayacaktır. Böylece Türkiye'de uygulanabilecek politika önerileri irdelenmiştir. Bu kapsamda Avusturya, Slovakya ve Türkiye'nin COVID-19'a yönelik politikaları farklı politika alanları çerçevesinde değerlendirilerek Türkiye adına politika önerileri geliştirilmeye çalışılmıştır. İlk olarak, bu çalışmada politika transferi ve ders çıkarma yoluyla teorik çerçeve tartışılmıştır. Ardından Avusturya ve Slovakya'nın COVID-19 ile mücadele politikaları incelenmiş ve Türkiye için bazı öneriler geliştirilmiştir. Bu çalışma, Pandemi sürecinde ders çıkarmanın ülkelere verimli ve işlevsel sağlayacağını ortaya koymaktadır. Bu şekilde politika uygulamaları incelenmiş, Türkiye için ve Türkiye'den politika önerileri sunulmaya çalışılmıştır.

The Fight Against Covid-19 in Slovakia and Austria: Lessons for and from Turkey

The COVID-19 Pandemic, which has necessitated a global struggle, started a period of uncertainty in countries. The current uncertain situation has precipitated discussions on which policies should be implemented in combating the Pandemic. Different policies have been implemented in different countries to slow and prevent the COVID-19 epidemic. While evaluating the effectiveness of national policies, drawing lessons from successful examples, and adopting them has become critical. On the other hand, policies can also be reviewed through policy failures. Within this study’s scope, a case study was conducted on Austria and Slovakia, which have both been successful in Central Europe in combating the Pandemic. Some of the lessons from these examples will contribute to Turkey’s fight against the Pandemic. Thus, policy recommendations that can be adopted in Turkey have been scrutinized. In this context, Austria’s, Slovakia’s, and Turkey’s policies against COVID-19 were evaluated within the framework of different policy areas, and policy proposals were sought to be developed on Turkey’s behalf. Firstly, the theoretical framework was discussed in this study through policy transfer and lesson-drawing. Then, Austria’s and Slovakia’s anti-COVID-19 policies were examined, and some recommendations were developed for Turkey. This study reveals that lesson-drawing in the Pandemic process will provide countries with efficient and functional. In this way, policy practices were examined, try to provide policy recommendations for and from Turkey.
