比较法与区域国别学:三个理论陷阱

Comparative Law and Regional and National Studies:Three Theoretical Traps

区域国别学为比较法带来新机遇,但掩藏在比较法中的理论缺陷极易在区域国别学中放大,以至给两者的发展和域外法治实践带来消极影响,这种理论缺陷表现为教条主义、后殖民主义和相对主义三个陷阱。比较法应在反思和防范这三种理论陷阱的基础上,为自身与区域国别学的良好结合寻找新的理论,形成兼采功能比较与意义比较方法,以及面向法治现代化的多元主义法律观。

While regional and national studies can bring new opportunities for comparative law,the theoretical flaws concealed in comparative law are easily magnified in regional and national studies and even have negative impacts on the development of the two and the practice of extraterritorial rule of law,as is manifested in three traps:dogmatism,postcolonialism,and relativism.Comparative law should,based on retrospection and prevention of these three theoretical traps,seek new theories for its good integration with regional and national studies,and form a method that combines functional and meaningful comparisons,as well as a pluralistic legal view oriented towards modernization of the rule of law.
