Legal scholars are familiar with the problem of executive overreach, especially in emergencies. But sometimes, instead of being too audacious or extreme, a national executive's attempts to address a true threat prove far too limited and insubstantial. In this Essay, we seek to define and clarify the phenomenon of executive underreach, with special reference to the COVID-19 crisis; to outline ways in which such underreach may compromise constitutional governance and the international legal order; and to suggest a partial remedy.

大流行和其他方面的行政不足

法律学者熟悉行政越权问题，尤其是在紧急情况下。但有时，国家执行官应对真正威胁的尝试并非过于大胆或极端，而是过于有限和缺乏实质性。在这篇文章中，我们力求定义和澄清行政管理不足的现象，特别是 COVID-19 危机；概述这种影响力不足可能损害宪法治理和国际法律秩序的方式；并提出部分补救措施。
