法律社会化视角下的软法责任

Soft Law Responsibility from the Perspective of Legal Socialization

法律规则的发展是人的社会化的结果和载体,人的不断社会化的历史进程在制度层面必然引致法律的社会化发展,软法律正是法律社会化的一种表现形式,反映了法律意涵的演进以及由此带来的法律责任形式的变化。国家强制力观念在法律规则层面的弱化意味着一场法学理论本体论的变革,高度分工社会中人们的相互依赖,使软法责任成为社会运转的润滑剂,同时硬法规则中的大部分责任实际是通过软法责任机制实现的,或者内化为自我实现的责任,又或者外化为社会压力下的责任,但是,在缺乏普遍信任的社会,如果没有国家强制力的保障,软法责任机制也将很难实现。

The development of legal rules is the result and carrier of human socialization. The continuous socialization of human history will inevitably lead to the socialization of law at the institutional level. Soft law is a manifestation of socialization of law and reflects the evolution of legal implications and the changes of legal liability resulting from this. The weakening of the concept of national coercive force at the level of legal rules means a revolution in the ontology of jurisprudence theory. The mutual interdependence of people in a highly divided society maks the responsibility of soft law a lubricant for social operation. At the same time, most responsibilities in the rules of hard law are achieved by soft law responsibilities mechanism. It＇ s either internalized as the responsibility of self-realization, or externalized as the respon- sibility under social pressure. However, in a society lacking universal trust, if there is no guarantee of na- tional coercive force, soft law responsibilities mechanism will also be difficult to achieve.
