反思公益诉讼之界定

On Public Procedural Law

现有理论对于公益诉讼的内涵缺乏准确、明晰的界定,从而导致这一概念在运用时存在大量无谓的争执与分歧,其根源在于对基础性概念——公共利益的不同理解。由此,公益诉讼界定应转变思路。具体而言,应在公益纠纷基础上看待作为一种利益衡量机制的公益诉讼。

Since the existing theories fail to define the content of public lawsuit correctly and clearly, there exist a lot of disputes on the application, which results from different understandings about the basic concept public interest. To be more specific, we should regard public lawsuit as a mechanism of interest evaluation on the basis of public disputes.
