「Learn from ‘experts’? COVID-19 and policy learning, a case from Japan (preliminary)」

Chiaki Ishigaki (Associate Professor at the Department of Human Welfare, Yamanashi Prefectural University)

<Abstract>
The novel coronavirus (COVID-19), which became a pandemic in 2020, has had a significant impact on countries. In order to respond to the virus that mankind encountered for the first time, policymakers in both international and domestic politics were highly influenced by the opinions of “experts.” The relationship between science and politics has been actively discussed. In Japan, too, the views of expert meetings and the infectious disease control subcommittee impacted policies. In order to obtain insights into the relationship between experts and politics, theories of epistemic community and policy learning are very effective. When the government tries to acquire highly technical knowledge, “epistemic learning” is carried out by learning from a cognitive community composed of scientists, but as the government’s learning progresses, the role of the expert group is said to change to a “contributor” to ask experts only what they want to know. This has been confirmed in the course of Japan's COVID-19 responses up to the present, but even so, experts have been united internally to serve as “teachers” to amend government policy partially.
