王晨、季卫东、王亚新是当今活跃在日本法律界的中国研究者。他们80年代留学于京都大学法学部,取得了博士学位,现在都在日本的大学执教。本文拟就他们的近著谈谈日本学者对中国法律的研究状况。 王晨的《社会主义市场经济与中国契约法》所贯穿的主题是:中国从50年代到70年代是集权的计划经济体制。在这一体制下缔结的契约与日本战时经济体制中的管制契约有着类似的原理和结构。始 Wang Chen, Ji Weidong, Wang Yaxin are now Chinese researchers active in the Japanese legal community. They studied at the Faculty of Law, Kyoto University in the 1980s and obtained their doctorates. They are now teaching at Japanese universities. This article intends to talk about their recent research by Japanese scholars on Chinese law. The theme pursued by Wang Chen in the “Socialist Market Economy and China’s Contract Law” is that China was a centralized planned economy from the 1950s to the 1970s. The contract concluded under this system has a similar principle and structure as the control contract in Japan’s war-time economic system. beginning
