信息能力与压力型立法(英文)

基于媒体话语的压力型立法是立法者信息能力不足的产物。如果立法者的信息能力不能有效应对现代法律规制活动的知识挑战，那么将无法抵御媒体话语过度渗透，导致立法与媒体之间的关联过于紧密，形成一旦媒体热议、立法就积极跟进的压力型立法现象。法律制度是具有恒常性的规则，而压力型立法往往失却应有的冷静、客观、慎重与全面，展现出背离理性立法的内在机理的决策特点，引发一系列既不公平、也无效率的再分配效应。压力型立法凸显了信息在公共政策选择和制度设计中的重要性，应当实施立法绩效评估制度，以此为立法者重塑信息能力提供充分的激励，确保立法的科学性与合理性。

Information Competency and Pressure-induced Legislation

Pressure-induced legislation occasioned by media discourse is actually the result of an information deficit on the part of legislators. If legislators＇ information competency fails to meet the knowledge challenges of the modem legal system and its activities, they will be powerless to resist the infiltration of media discourse. The result is that legislative activities are inextricably intertwined with the media; once a particular social issue is catapulted on to the media agenda, legislators have no choice but to fall into line, creating the phenomenon of pressure-induced legislation. The essential characteristic of law is its inherent constancy and stability, whereas pressure-induced legislation often loses the calmness, objectivity, prudence and comprehensiveness proper to law. Such legislative decision-making runs counter to the inherently rational mechanism of legislation and produces unfair and ineffective redistributive results. Pressure-induced legislation highlights the importance of information in public policy choices and institution design. It would be desirable for the whole legal system aimed at evaluating legislative performance to be introduced so as to provide legislators with a sufficient incentive to remodel their information competency and ensure the scientific nature and rationality of legislation.
