This article examines the inquiry reports from the commissions charged with investigating government crisis management of the COVID-19 pandemic in Norway and Sweden. Such postcrises commissions have been a common feature in many countries as they seek to systematize their experiences and learn from the crisis. In this article, we used various dimensions of governance capacity and governance legitimacy as assessment criteria. It reveals that the commissions’ assessment criteria were not very specific in their reports, but a reanalysis of their findings shows that governance capacity and governance legitimacy dimensions are useful to assess the reports themselves. The two reports reveal a lack of preparedness in both countries, but they differ in their conclusions about governance regulation and output legitimacy.

评估 COVID-19 大流行的危机管理：对挪威和瑞典调查委员会报告的研究

本文探讨了负责调查挪威和瑞典政府对 COVID-19 大流行的危机管理的委员会的调查报告。此类危机后委员会是许多国家的一个共同特征，因为它们寻求系统化经验并从危机中吸取教训。在本文中，我们使用治理能力和治理合法性的各个维度作为评估标准。它表明，委员会的评估标准在其报告中并不十分具体，但对其调查结果的重新分析表明，治理能力和治理合法性维度对于评估报告本身很有用。这两份报告揭示了两国都缺乏准备，但它们在治理监管和产出合法性方面的结论不同。
