地方立法的人类学考察

Anthropological Study of Local Legislation

人类学为考察地方立法提供了两种不同的进路,分别是法律诠释学与法律功能论。根据法律诠释学的进路,地方立法旨在对特定地方的特定事物赋予特定意义,进而实现各种地方知识之间的相互解释,在这个过程中,地方立法依赖于地方知识。根据法律功能论的进路,地方立法的功能主要体现在:对完善地方治理及其国家治理做出贡献,以及,对完善法治体系做出贡献。两种不同的人类学进路,为全面考察地方立法提供了理论框架,为推进地方立法的交叉研究提供了新的可能性。

Anthropology provides two different approaches for the study of local legislation: legal hermeneutics and legal functionalism. According to the approach of legal hermeneutics, local legislation aims to give specific meaning to specific things in a specific place, and then realize the mutual interpretation of various local knowledges. In this process, local legislation depends on local knowledge. According to the approach of the theory of legal function, the functions of local legislation are mainly embodied in: making contributions to the improvement of local governance and national governance, as well as to the improvement of the rule of law system. Two different anthropological approaches provide a theoretical framework for a comprehensive study of local legislation and a new possibility for promoting the cross study of local legislation.
