环境权理论研究向何处去?

Where Will the Theoretical Research on Environmental Rights Go?

环境权的概念自从上世纪八十年代开始进入我国环境法学论域,获得了相当程度的进展,但近年来,我国的环境权理论研究徘徊不前。因此,有必要以现有资源为起点,拓清环境权的理论依托,厘定环境权的基本性质,澄清环境权的适用范围。环境权是公共利益的权利表达方式,面对的是一个特殊的多元利益领域,传统的公私二元化的权利体系不能解决这一特殊问题。环境权的发展,一直伴随着公法权利、公权力、私法权利、公共利益的多元角逐。因此,如何对公共利益进行有效的权利保护,以之对抗强有力的私权利与公权力,是论点纷呈的环境权理论研究需要面对的重大挑战。

New progress has been made on environmental rights research since the conception of environmental rights was introduced into China. While recently, the basic research on environmental rights is at a standstill; it is necessary to make clear of the theoretical background of environmental rights, the nature of environmental rights, and the applied scope of environmental rights. Right to environment is to express and protect public interests which integrates multiple commands and interests. The development of en^ironmental rights is full of complicated conflicts from public legal rights, authority, private legal rights, and public interest. Therefore, it is a real challenge to protect public interests by legal rights which could counterbalance private legal rights and government authority.
