【摘要】：世界法治指数和法律与发展运动关系密切,其早期实践可追溯至1971年美国梅里曼等人从事的法律制度定量研究。在20世纪80年代第二次法律与发展运动时期,国际政策界对法治的热情催生了世界银行治理指数与世界正义工程的世界法治指数,并产生深远影响。但国际学术界对法治指数始终存在正反两种评价。从比较法的视角来看,世界法治指数是继法系地图、国别地图之外的一种新的世界法律地图绘制方式,具有简化、歪曲、引导、暗示和传播五种特性;同时它也是全球化时代法律散播的新形式,在进口来源、散播层次、散播路径、散播解释方面具有多样性,在散播效果方面具有长期性。20世纪90年代以后,法治评估及指数研究引入中国并取得长足进步,但其方法论引起法学界的反思,我们应从比较法学界对法治指数的批判分析中汲取经验和教训。
[Abstract]:The index of world rule of law and law are closely related to the development movement, whose early practice can be traced back to the quantitative study of the legal system carried out by Merriman and others in the United States in 1971. During the second Movement of Law and Development in the 1980s, the enthusiasm of the international policy community for the rule of law gave birth to the World Bank Governance Index and the World Justice Project's World Rule of Law Index, which had a profound impact. However, there are always positive and negative evaluation on the index of rule of law in international academic circles. From the perspective of comparative law, the index of the world's rule of law is a new way of drawing the legal map of the world in addition to the map of legal system and country map, which has five characteristics: simplification, distortion, guidance, suggestion and dissemination. It is also a new form of legal dissemination in the era of globalization, with diversity in terms of import sources, dissemination levels, dissemination paths, and interpretation, as well as long-term dissemination effects. The evaluation of rule of law and the study of index have been introduced into China and made great progress, but its methodology has aroused the reflection of the legal circles. We should draw experience and lessons from the critical analysis of the index of rule of law in the field of comparative law.
