ABSTRACT The liberal democratic state exercises power through an element of governmental rationality, and police and the reason of the state constitute this rationality. The reason of the state and the regulation of individual conduct in a pandemic gives primary importance to the idea of public safety. Here, public order takes precedence over law enforcement, where law enforcement is geared to meet only one end, i.e., public safety. This paper argues that during a pandemic, the police creates different kinds of governmental order by stressing on security and public safety as an essential requirement. In doing so, the police form public safety as a reason or an element of state’s rationale for enforcing laws, thereby curtailing individual rights and liberties. The paper demonstrates how police can transform the rule of law into the rule of order within the state by changing law enforcement techniques to maintain a stable political order.

在大流行中监管自由民主国家：公共安全、国家越权和秩序的建立

摘要 自由民主国家通过政府理性要素行使权力，警察和国家理性构成了这种理性。大流行中的国家原因和对个人行为的监管，将公共安全的理念放在首位。在这里，公共秩序优先于执法，执法只为满足一个目的，即公共安全。本文认为，在大流行期间，警察通过强调安全和公共安全作为基本要求来创造不同类型的政府秩序。在这样做的过程中，警察将公共安全作为国家执行法律的理由或要素，从而限制了个人权利和自由。
