COVİD-19 İLE MÜCADELEDE KOLAYLAŞTIRICI BİR FAKTÖR OLARAK YÖNETSEL KAPASİTE: ÜLKE DENEYİMLERİNDEN YANSIMALAR

Bu çalışmada alt boyutları itibariyle ülkelerin sahip oldukları yönetsel kapasite düzeylerinin, bir kötü huylu problem olan Covid-19 pandemisinin olumsuz etkileri ile başarılı ve etkin bir mücadele hususundaki kolaylaştırıcı rolüne odaklanılmıştır. Çalışmanın teorik bulgusu kötü huylu problemlerle mücadelenin başarısı üzerinde yönetsel kapasitenin oynadığı rolün açıklığa kavuşturulması ile ilgilidir. Yüksek yönetsel kapasite düzeyinin Covid-19 pandemisi ile mücadeleyi kolaylaştırdığı, düşük kapasite düzeyinin ise aksine zorlaştırdığı gözlemlenmiştir. Çalışmada ayrıca, Covid-19 pandemisi ile mücadelede hangi yönetsel kapasite boyutlarının karar alıcılar ve uygulayıcılar tarafından inşa edilmesi gerektiğine ilişkin uygulamaya dönük bulgular elde edilmiştir. Yönetsel kapasitenin alt boyutlarında, analitik, koordinasyon, alt yapı, ilişkisel ve sosyal koruma kapasite düzeylerinin Covid-19’un tıbbi ve sosyal-ekonomik boyuttaki etkileri ile etkin bir mücadelede büyük bir rol oynadığı görülmüştür. Ülke deneyimleri ışığında Covid-19 pandemisinin, ülke hükümetlerine pandemiler ve diğer kötü huylu problemlerle mücadelede yönetsel kapasitelerini artırma konusunda bir uyandırma çağrısı olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Çalışmada Yin (2003)’in örnek olay yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Veri toplama yöntemleri olarak literatür taraması ve doküman incelemesini içeren nitel veri toplama teknikleri kullanılmıştır.

ADMINISTRATIVE CAPACITY AS A ENABLING FACTOR IN TACKLING COVID- 19: REFLECTIONS FROM GOVERNMENT EXPERIENCES

This study focuses on the enabling role of governments' administrative capacity levels in a successful and effective tackling with the negative effects of Covid-19 pandemic which is a wicked problem. The theoretical finding of the study is about clarifying the role played by administrative capacity on the success of tackling wicked problems. It was observed that high administrative capacity level makes it easier tackling the Covid-19 pandemic, but on the contrary, the low capacity level makes it more difficult. This study also reached important practical findings regarding which administrative capacity sub-dimensions should be built by decision-makers and practitioners in tackling Covid-19 pandemics. The analytical, coordination, infrastructure, relational and social protection capacity levels in the sub-dimensions of administrative capacity play a major role in tackling the medical and social-economic effects of Covid-19. Based on government experience, it has been concluded that the Covid-19 pandemic is a wake-up call to governments to increase their administrative capacity in tackling pandemics and other wicked problems. Case study method was used in the study. Qualitative data collection techniques including literature review and document review were used as data collection methods.
