法律與發展研究的經驗教訓（譯文）

The Lessons of Law-and-Development Studies

美國的法律與發展研究是一項立足於美國本土經驗、面向廣大發展中國家的法律知識輸出運動，其先後以現代化理論和依附理論作為兩大研究範式。前者強調西方的制度移植和價值轉型，但無視發展中國家的傳統文化和社會現實；而後者指明西方經濟殖民主義的深重禁錮，但低估了世界經濟體系的有益推動。鑒於兩大研究範式的理論失實和理據衝突，法律與發展學者積累了一系列的經驗與教訓。其核心在於，隨著發展中國家的不懈努力，在世界範圍內定會實現以最低限度內容為基礎、以本土經驗為依託的多元化法治模式。面對潛在的理論危機，一種後現代主義的批判態度和法學研究的多重局限也應認真審視。也許，面向本土經驗的法律改革，是我們應對危機的必由之路。

Law and development studies in the United States serve as a movement in the exportation of legal knowledge for the modernization of various developing countries, which deeply roots in the American indigenous experience. In the light of the two major paradigms dominated in this field, modernization theory emphasizes the transplantation of legal institutions and the transformation of legal values, while ignores the traditional culture and social reality in developing countries;dependency theory indicates the disastrous exploitation of the western economic colonialism, but underestimates the beneficial promotion of the world economic system. Owing to the theoretical failure and tensions at hand, law and development scholars have learned a set of precious lessons. With the persistent endeavor, developing countries will eventually establish successful and indigenous permutations of the role of law. In addressing this theoretical crisis, a postmodernism oriented critical analysis and the multi limitations of legal study must be carefully scrutinized. In all, a homegrown legal reform appears to be the only workable solution.
