Abstract

The institutional theory of law provides the conceptual foundations both for a sociologically sound and theoretically coherent socio-legal theory of law and for comparative research into legal cultures. By conceiving law as institutional normative order the institutional theory can accommodate for the rich historical and cultural diversity in the forms of law. This article analyses the three components of the institutional theory, i.e. norms, order and institutions, and gives a brief account of the types of norms that institutions bring together, their sociological dimension and the typologies of legal institutions. The notion of order is enhanced by the institutional theory to account both for claims to practical operation of the law and for the existence of conflicts, calling for institutional approaches to dispute resolution. This opening to “order and dispute” raises the question of justice and fairness of the norms and of the mechanisms of dispute resolution. Comparison of legal cultures needs to identify the legal fields that are being compared, with a view to producing a workable set of legal culture comparators for comparative purposes. These comparators would need further spelling out to deliver measurable indicators.

法律制度作为法律文化的比较
法律制度理论为社会学上健全和理论上连贯的法律社会法学理论以及法律文化的比较研究提供了概念基础。通过将法律视为制度规范秩序,制度理论可以容纳法律形式中丰富的历史和文化多样性。本文分析了制度理论的三个组成部分,即规范、秩序和制度,并简要介绍了制度所汇集的规范类型、它们的社会学维度以及法律制度的类型学。制度理论加强了秩序的概念,以解释对法律实际操作的要求和冲突的存在,要求采用制度方法来解决争端。这种对“秩序和争端”的开放提出了规范和争端解决机制的正义和公平问题。法律文化比较需要确定正在进行比较的法律领域,以便为比较目的编制一套可行的法律文化比较指标。需要进一步阐明这些比较指标,以提供可衡量的指标。
