臺灣地區電子商務發展現況與因應

從全球因特網的擴張速度來看，網路的應用與發展對每一個國家或社會在信息文明的未來競爭上，勢必具備決定性的影響，以目前國際間電子商務之發展已是如火如荼，身為地球村之一員，焉能不對此有積極的掌握，並調整內國現行之法制規範，以保障當事人權益，促進社會整體之福祉，更用以避免亂象叢生而無法可用之窘境。因此，如何創設一個適當且符合電子商務之法律環境即成為當務之急。基本上，海峽兩岸之人民、企業與網路發展方向均有其同構性，而臺灣地區則在市場經濟之發展過程中累積了較多的經驗，尤其在法律環境的調適上，臺灣地區因對於商務之管理有較早的經驗，故而在法制建設上亦有所領先；而本文之作，即在於針對當前臺灣地區相關發展中值得借鑒之處加以整理分析，期望能作為中國網路世界未來建置法律規範環境之參考。

Looking into the fast expanding trend of global internet, the internet's application and development become crucial to a nation or a society's future competition in terms of 'information civilization.' In turns, envisioning the dynamic growth of international electronic commerce, all the members of the earth village have to actively participate in the process and, further, adjust their legal framework so as to protect contracting parties' rights, to enhance social welfare and to avoid the possible out-law situations. Therefore, it is a non-delegable duty for a government to promote a rational legal environment being in compatible with he needs of electronic commerce. In principle, both sides of the strait have their common traits in sense of people orientation, industrial culture and cyberspace development while Taiwan learns earlier from market economy and gains more experiences therefrom. This is especially true in regard to the legal development and the regulation of electronic commerce. It has been the main theme of this article to introduce the related development in Taiwan as Mainland China's relevance in her future development in this regard.
