Features: This book is part of the "Young and Middle-aged Legal Studies Series." The author views the contradiction between "imported ideas" and "local resource theory" as the conflict between theoretical rationality and practical rationality. He adopts a relatively appropriate stance and develops a so-called "relatively rationalism" perspective. Under specific environmental and conditional constraints, whether in procedural operations or institutional reforms, one can only strive for relative rationality and cannot aim for perfection. In other words, "seeking better rather than best." If one pursues rationalization without considering actual conditions and the constraints of various complex factors, it will not only be ineffective but may also worsen the situation by completely disrupting the existing ordered state.
