国际民商事协议管辖制度理论的源与流

The Origin and Development of Forum Selection Theories in International Civil and Commercial Matters

从民事诉讼的基础理论和国际私法的基础理论两个角度出发,考察了国际民商事协议管辖制度的理论根源及其发展。根据诉讼目的论、价值论以及诉讼契约论等理论,探究协议管辖制度本身存在的诉讼法价值,揭示了纠纷解决中协议管辖的正当性和适当性;同时,从国际私法的基础理论考察国际民商事协议管辖制度中意思自治原则和国家主权原则的竞争性。最后,试图构建以当事人合理的意思自治权利最大化作为现代国际民商事协议管辖制度的新视角,并以之反观我国目前的民商事管辖制度。

Starting with the basic theories of civil procedure law and international private law, this article studies the origin and development of forum selection theories in international civil and commercial matters. From the prospective of the theory of purpose for civil procedures, theory of value of civil procedures and theory of contract of civil procedure, it finds out the innate procedural value of forum selection and the rightness and reasonableness of forum selection. Meanwhile it also discovers the competition between principle of party autonomy and principle of national sovereignty in the institution of forum selection. In the end, it introduces a new prospective of forum selection institution, namely to maximize the freedom of party autonomy to a reasonable extent, with which the current PRC rules of forum selection are discussed.
