项目摘要

We commonly try to analyze how Japan and Korea preserve their cultural and national identity in the age of globalization. We have set two points of view, one from the philosophy of law and the other from economic law. The study group from the latter perspective has focused on a Korean economic law that functions as the rule of competition for regulating big business combines. When Korea solicited the financial aid of the IMF to ease an economic crisis in 1997, it was demanded a fundamental reform of its economic system. As a result the economic law regulates the domination of companies by business combines through family partnership and their obsolete business customs. Despite of this reform, Korean economy is still deeply rooted in the Confucianistic family system and collectivism based on localized communities. This fundamental characteristic hinders the Korean economic system from conforming itself easily to the western standard centering America. If Korea has no way to avoid the liberalization of trade and capital transfer under the WTO regime, the country is now facing both the demand of institutional reform and a philosophical question regarding its legal system. The question is whether Korea should liquidate its traditional culture as a negative inheritance or it should mould its own standard for international competition out of its unique past.Rejecting an easy answer, the second study group on the philosophy of law has dealt with this question for the promotion of a better understanding of the fundamental cultural factors in the law systems of Japan and Korea. Through those studies we have found it possible to "relativize" both Western Universalism and Asian Values and "deconstruct" post-modernity in East Asia. The result was attained partly because of the interdisciplinary perspective of this project asking the participation of the specialists in economic law.

我们通常试图分析日本和韩国如何在全球化时代保持其文化和民族身份。我们设定了两种观点，一种是法律哲学，另一个是经济法。从后一个角度来看，研究小组的重点是韩国经济法，该法律是规范大企业结合的竞争规则。当韩国在1997年征求国际货币基金组织的经济援助以缓解经济危机时，要求对其经济体系进行基本改革。结果，经济法规定了通过家庭伙伴关系及其过时的商业习俗结合商业公司的统治。尽管进行了这种改革，但韩国经济仍然深深植根于基于本地社区的儒家家庭体系和集体主义。这种基本特征阻碍了韩国的经济体系，从轻松地构想到西方标准以美国为中心。如果韩国无法避免在世贸组织政权下贸易和资本转移的自由化，那么该国现在既面临制度改革的需求，又面临有关其法律制度的哲学问题。问题是，韩国是否应该将其传统文化作为负面的遗产清算，还是应该从其独特的过去中塑造其国际竞争的标准。拒绝一个简单的答案，第二个关于法律哲学的研究小组涉及这个问题，以更好地促进对日本和韩国法律体系中基本文化因素的更好理解。通过这些研究，我们发现有可能“相对”西亚的西方普遍主义和亚洲价值观和“解构”东亚的后现代性。结果之所以得出部分原因是该项目的跨学科观点，要求专家参与经济法。
