国际金融软法的效力与发展趋势

在全球治理与公民社会兴起的背景下,国际金融软法的蓬勃发展是一种必然趋势。国际金融软法虽然不具有法律约束力,但在实践中却可能产生某种实际约束效果。运用社会法学派和现实主义学派的方法,可以较好地解释这一现象。国际金融软法的制定主体、调整范围和表现形式具有广泛性和多样性,能够在一定程度上弥补国际金融硬法的不足。国际金融软法的实际约束效果主要通过法律上和事实上的"硬化"来体现。从发展趋势来看,除转化为国际条约、国际习惯和国内法之外,国际金融软法在较长的时期内仍有自己独立的发展空间。国际金融软法的未来发展有赖于进一步提高公众参与度和透明度。

The Validity of Soft International Finance Law and Its Development

Against the background of the emergence of the global governance and civil society,a flourishing development of the global finance governance becomes an inevitable trend.Though soft international finance law has no legally binding force,yet it may produce a kind of actual binding effect in practice.The subject,scope of regulation and forms of manifestation of soft international finance law are extensive and of great diversity,they,therefore,can fill the regulation vacuum and make up for the inadequacy of the regulatory mechanism of hard international finance law.In contemporary global finance system,the actual binding effect of soft international finance law is mainly reflected through the process of transforming into hard law legally and practically.Looking from the perspective of development trend,besides transforming into international treaty,custom and domestic law,soft international finance law still has its independent space for development in a relatively long period of time,with its future development depending on further encouragement of public participation and transparency.
