The coronavirus disease pandemic has exposed differences in the capacity of governments around the world to integrate and coordinate different policy instruments into a coherent response. In this article, we conceptualize and empirically examine policy integration in responses to the coronavirus disease crisis in 35 countries. We then discuss how the interplay between restrictions, health protection, and economic policy has been articulated between, on the one hand, a policy design based on the complementarity of pro-public health and pro-economy measures, implying an integrated response, and, on the other, a policy design based on the perception of an inherent trade-off between the two. Finally, we discuss three implications from our analysis of policy integration against the coronavirus disease crisis for the post-COVID state: (a) the normalization and adaptation of integrated crisis responses; (b) the possible acceleration and “catching up” of problem-solving capacity as governments may use the crisis as an instance to put into place new social policies; and (c) policy integration as an accelerator of policy complexity and resistance against technocracy in the post-COVID state.

政策整合、问题解决和冠状病毒病危机：政策设计的经验教训

冠状病毒病大流行暴露了世界各国政府在整合和协调不同政策工具以形成一致应对措施的能力方面存在差异。在本文中，我们对 35 个国家应对冠状病毒病危机的政策整合进行概念化和实证检验。然后，我们讨论了限制、健康保护和经济政策之间的相互作用是如何在一方面基于支持公共卫生和支持经济的措施的互补性的政策设计之间阐明的，这意味着综合反应，以及，另一方面，政策设计基于对两者之间内在权衡的看法。最后，我们讨论了我们对针对后 COVID 状态的冠状病毒疾病危机的政策整合分析的三个影响：(a) 综合危机应对措施的正常化和适应；(b) 解决问题的能力可能会加速和“赶上”，因为政府可能会以危机为实例制定新的社会政策；(c) 政策整合作为后 COVID 状态下政策复杂性和抵制技术官僚主义的加速器。
