Towards more systemic crisis governance – lessons from the Covid-19 pandemic in Finland
Overall, Finland coped well with the Covid-19 pandemic, although challenges grew as the crisis continued. The country’s strong institutions, its comprehensive security model, and cooperative structures established in advance primarily explain the successes of pandemic governance. Ensuring the operational capacity of institutions and safeguarding trust proved to be central elements of crisis preparedness, and they need to be maintained in future crises. Societal actors should also work to alleviate the negative effects of structural vulnerabilities, which are often exacerbated during crises. Improving preparedness for future crises requires a more systemic and comprehensive approach to governance, combined with mechanisms that enable flexible and adaptive action.
