司法行政合一政体的宿命及启示——兼评《中国封建司法行政体制运作研究》

Predestination and Enlightenment of Judiciary-Administration Union Form of Government——Also a Comment on “The Study of Chinese Feudal Judicial Administrative System”

中国古代封建制度的朝代兴衰更替始终都在司法行政合体的政治架构中运行。刘长江教授主持的国家社科基金西部项目的最终成果——《中国封建司法行政体制运作研究》是检视这段历史的一个尝试。这项成果主要体现出"宏大叙事、纲举目张","主题鲜明、方法得当","不囿历史、观照现实"等三个特点。此研究缺乏魏晋南北朝和元朝的内容,具有"断代"感;以时间为顺序的编排体例,使所论问题缺乏聚焦点。但这项成果仍是分析中国封建司法行政体制的力作,给读者带来"政体性质决定法律的地位和性质","权力必须受到制约与监督才能保证为善","只有建立社会主义民主法治,才能摆脱‘历史周期律’宿命"等诸多启示。

The change of dynasties in ancient feudal China had been operated in the political framework of judiciary administration unity. ＂The Study of Chinese Feudal Judicial Administrative System＂, Professor Liu Changjiang＇ s research finding for the western national social science fund project, is an attempt to observe this period of history. The characteris- tics of this book are ＂grand narration,lucid exposition of essential points＂, ＂distinct themes and appropriate methods＂ ,and ＂unconstraint with history and considering reality＂. Howev- er, this study is incomplete due to the lack of Wei, Jin, Northern and Southern and Yuan Dy- nasties. The time sequence fails to highlight the focus. This Work is an authority one for an- alyzing Chinese feudal judiciary-administration system, which enlightens the readers with the ideas that ＂the political nature determines the status and nature of law＂ ,＂power functions well only with constraint and supervision＂, and ＂only socialism democratic law can get rid of the predestination of ＇ historical cycle＇ ＂ .
