“发展”是当今世界的重大主题,但其意义不再局限于各国自身经济的发展,更强调整个社会的发展,整个人类的共同全面发展。20世纪80年代的可持续发展战略,在本质和价值取向上与经济法所要追求的理念存在相容性和共通性,因此,以可持续发展为视角对经济法的发展理念进行更新是必要且可行的。 “Development ” is a major theme in today’s world. But its significance is no longer confined to the economic development of all countries. It emphasizes the development of the entire society and the common and all-round development of mankind as a whole. The strategy of sustainable development in the 1980s has the compatibility and commonality with the idea pursued by economic law in the nature and value orientation. Therefore, it is necessary to update the concept of economic law from the perspective of sustainable development feasible.
