项目摘要

This year, the final year of three years' project, I made an effort to conclude the research agenda and to bridge it with future research. My original perspective of research was that two-contrasted legal cultures between the Pacific Ocean, communication Asian and individualistic Anglo-American, would converge in the early 21st century. However, the Asian Financial Crisis erupted in 1997 has shown another indication that Anglo-American legal culture overwhelmed Asian one and forced almost all Asian countries including Japan to reform their political and economic systems to the Anglo-American systems. It is undeniable that Anglo-American system is characterized by rationality in the economic sense as often expressed by the terms "transparency and accountability", while Asian systems is irrational in this sense as shown by the terms "cronyism and nepotism". However, a kind of feeling of identity or solidarity becomes more and more important in the social life, as we see in ethnic and racial conflicts all over the world. This feeling or value is a core of Asian legal culture although it has a serious weakness mentioned above in the economic and political field. Therefore, a convergence of two legal cultures, I believe, is still an effective paradigm in the long time-span.

今年是三年项目的最后一年，我努力完成研究议程，并将其与未来的研究联系起来。我最初的研究视角是，太平洋地区的两种对立的法律的文化，即亚洲的交流和英美的个人主义，将在世纪初汇合。然而，1997年爆发的亚洲金融危机再次表明，英美法律的文化压倒了亚洲文化，迫使包括日本在内的几乎所有亚洲国家对英美制度进行政治和经济体制的改革。不可否认的是，英美制度的特点是经济意义上的合理性，这通常表现为“透明度和问责制”，而亚洲制度在这个意义上是不合理的，这表现为“任人唯亲和裙带关系”。然而，正如我们在世界各地的民族和种族冲突中所看到的那样，一种认同感或团结感在社会生活中变得越来越重要。这种情感或价值观是亚洲法律的文化的核心，尽管它在经济和政治领域存在上述严重的弱点。因此，笔者认为，两种法律的文化的融合在很长一段时间内仍然是一种有效的范式。
