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认同。我们提出了两种观点，一种是法哲学的观点，一种是经济法的观点。从后一个角度来看，研究小组重点研究了韩国经济法，该法作为规范大企业联合体的竞争规则。 1997年，韩国向国际货币基金组织寻求财政援助以缓解经济危机，要求对其经济体系进行根本性改革。因此，经济法通过家族合伙企业及其过时的商业惯例规范了企业联合体对公司的支配。尽管进行了这一改革，韩国经济仍然深深植根于儒家家庭制度和基于地方社区的集体主义。这一基本特征阻碍了韩国经济体系轻易符合以美国为中心的西方标准。如果说韩国无法避免WTO体制下的贸易自由化和资本转移，那么韩国现在既面临着制度改革的要求，也面临着法律体系的哲学问题。问题在于，韩国是否应该将其作为负面遗产的传统文化清算，或者应该根据其独特的过去来塑造自己的国际竞争标准。第二个法哲学研究小组拒绝简单的答案，对这个问题进行了长期的探讨。促进更好地理解日本和韩国法律体系中的基本文化因素。通过这些研究，我们发现“相对化”西方普世主义和亚洲价值观以及“解构”东亚的后现代性是可能的。取得这一成果的部分原因是该项目的跨学科视角要求经济法专家的参与。
