论涉外民事法律选择方法(模式)的范式转换

On the Paradigm Shift of Foreign-Related Civil Legal Choice Method

"规则"与"方法"之争是当今涉外民事法律适用中的主要议题。从国际私法的历史发展看,各国学者基于不同立场和观念提出诸多法律选择方法,这些方法在理论层面上呈现出三种不同的样态,即"方法论意义上的法律选择模式"、"本体论意义上的法律选择模式"以及代表当代国际私法基本走向的"混合型法律选择模式"。就我国国际私法理论研究和涉外民事裁判的实践而言,研究涉外民事法律选择方法的范式转换对于我们正确认识和运用《涉外民事关系法律适用法》具有十分重要的现实意义。

At the present time, the Debate of rule and method is the main topic for discussion in the foreign-related civil application of law. From the historical development of private international law, the scholars of various countries have put forward many legal choice methods, which theoreti- cally can be divided into three kinds, namely the mode of choice of law in the methodological sense, the mode of choice of law in the ontological sense and the mixed mode of choice of law which repre- senting the basic trend of contemporary private international law. As far as the Chinese private inter- national law theoretical research and foreign-related civil judgment practice concerned, the study of the paradigm shift of foreign-related civil legal choice method has a very important practical signifi- cance to correctly understand and use the Law of the People~ Republic of China on Application of Laws to Foreign-Related Civil Relations.
