商法市场本位论——兼论商法的独立性

On the Market Orientation of Commercial Law——Concurrently Discussing Independence of Commercial Law

商法在我国兴起的时间不长。改革开放后,随着我国商品经济的发展,特别是社会主义市场经济体制的建立,由于现实的需要,逐步制定实施了一系列商事法律规范。但商法理论的研究一直落后于商法本身的实践,以至于在我国还没有相对成熟的商法理论,也没有相对完备的商法体系,甚至连商法能否成为独立的法律部门,在理论和实践上仍然存在很大的分歧。因此从法律本位的视角来研究商法的特性及其独立性,具有重要的理论和实践意义。

Commercial law does not enjoy a long history in China. With the policy of reform and opening up and especially the development of socialist market economy in China, laws regulating commercial activities have been enacted and implemented to satisfy the need of social realities. Theoretical study of commercial law, however, always falls behind its practices so that no established theory on our commercial law is available in China, let alone a perfect commercial legal system. The worse is there is a huge disagreement of whether commercial law can be an independent sector law in theory and in practice. That is why it is so significant in theory and practice that the characters and independence of commercial law should be studied in view of legality.
