转型中国的法律体系建构

按照中国执政者依法治国的施政蓝图,到2010年中国将形成自己的法律体系,立足于这样一个重要时点的临近,本文以中国政府尤其是立法机关关于法律体系建设的认识和实践为基本线索,探讨了中国社会转型背景下法律体系建设的整体思路和布局问题。文章将迄今为止中国政府在法律体系认识和实践上的主要技术特征概括为四个方面,即理性主义的建构思路、国家主义色彩、立法中心-行政配合的运作模式,以及简约主义的风格,认为这些特征在集合意义上铸就了当下中国在法律体系建设上的某种封闭性质;主张就此进行深入反思,并从转型中国社会法治秩序形成的原理和要求出发,树立一种关于中国特色法律体系构建的开放性思考,作出相应的制度安排。
