公共利益一直以来都是法学的重要范畴,同时也是宪政、公共管理等领域所关注的重点。当公共利益作为现代国家干预市场主体行为的合法性基础与理由时,公共利益原则便构成了经济法的逻辑起点。经济法视野下公共利益原则的内涵、特征、边界及其与他法中的价值区分等问题都值得探讨,尤其在构建有限有效的法治政府目标更为迫切的中国实践中。 Public interest has always been an important area of ​​jurisprudence, but also the focus of attention in the areas of constitutional government and public administration. When the public interest serves as the basis and justification for the legitimacy of modern market intervention in the market, the principle of public interest constitutes the logical starting point of economic law. The connotation, characteristics, boundary of the principle of public interest under the economic law and the distinction between the value and the value of the other law are all worth discussing, especially in the Chinese practice that is more urgent to build a limited and effective government with the rule of law.
