论法律选择的基本原则

The Fundamental Doctrine of Choice of Law

冲突法的作用在于就不同法律关系应适用的准据法，在内外国法律间作出选择。法律选择应遵循四个基本原则，即当事人自主决定原则，最密切联系原则，公平原则和有效原则。前二者主要从选择的方法或途径上对准据法定位，后二者则从选择结果上对准据法定位。

As for conflict law,as the main part of the international private law,its purpose is to deal with the applicable law on different relations and make a choice between domestic and foreign law.The essay argues that the choice of law should follow the four basic doctrines:the doctrine chosen by the parties,the most relevant doctrine, the fair doctrine,and the effective doctrines.The first two doctrines discuss the ways of choosing the applicable law;the other two doctrines mainly discuss the results after the applicable law is chosen.
