新冠疫情之下,欧洲经济治理的许多传统规则迅速失灵,欧盟国家开始大规模干预经济。不同于经济危机时期欧盟经济治理的被动反应,欧盟并未局限于在原有政策工具基础之上的修补,而是通过法德倡议、“下一代欧盟”复苏计划、“复苏和韧性工具”、长期经济规划等主动的政策选择使欧盟经济治理突破了传统的市场规则,标志着欧洲经济治理迈向一个全新的起点。欧盟不能只是一种经济意义上的联盟,否则终究会因各种可能的利益分配矛盾而连带产生政治危机。因此,欧盟没有局限于执行既有政策及其目标,而是重构了组织规范,主要体现为规则与财政转移并举,塑造政治决策的共同体。欧盟正转危为机,不仅支持复苏,而且投资未来,经济治理从被动反应型转向前瞻型政策形态,欧盟政策变得越来越政治化。总体来看,联合债务等政策和政治目标的通过促进了欧洲经济治理的重大变革,但由于欧洲经济制度调整的有限作用,以及成员国内部政治分歧,欧盟的离心力并没有消除,欧洲经济要克服危机、实现复苏依然任重而道远。
In the crisis of COVID-19,many traditional rules and restrictions in European economic governance rapidly failed,and the EU countries began to intervene in the economy on a large scale. Unlike the passive response during the economic crisis,the EU did not limit itself tosupplementing the original policy tools,but rather,through the Franco-German Initiative,Next Generation EU,recovery and resilience tools,long-term economic planning,and other proactive policy choices,made the EU’s economic governance deviate from the traditional rules of the market,marking a brand-new starting point. The EU can not be an economic union only;otherwise,political crises would eventually arise due to various contradictions in interest distribution. Therefore,the EU has reconstructed organizational norms beyond the current policies and objectives,mainly reflected in the coexistence of rules and financial transfer,as well as the community approach to political decision-making. The EU is turning crisis into opportunity;it not only supports recovery,but also invests in the future. EU policies are becoming increasingly politicized as its economic governance shifts from passive response to forward-looking policy formulation. On the whole,the adoption of policies and political objectives such as joint debt has promoted major changes in European economic governance. However,due to the limited role of European economic system adjustment and the political divergence within member states,the centrifugal force of the EU has not been eliminated. There is still a long way to go for European economic governance to overcome the crisis and achieve recovery.
