중국의 “섭외법치인재” 양성에 대한 연구

Abstract

Despite China’s rise as a major economic power, the country continues to experience difficulties in adapting to international rules and relations. These challenges are particularly pronounced in China's engagement with the reform of the international governance system and the restructuring of the global order. To address these issues and mitigate threats to its sovereignty, security, and developmental interests, China has made the cultivation of “foreign-related rule of law talents” a key strategic priority. While significant efforts have been made and academic research has progressed in this area, a formal, unified system for the cultivation of “foreign-related rule of law talents” has not yet been established. As a result, individual institutions have implemented independent training methods, making it difficult to ensure the practical effectiveness and coherence of these talent development programs. This paper examines the background and current state of China’s “foreign-related rule of law talent” cultivation efforts, identifying several key challenges. These include the ambiguity in the selection of training institutions, the necessity of clearly defining training targets, and the internal limitations of existing training methods. First, this paper proposes clear criteria for the selection of training institutions, with an emphasis on optimizing national policy and financial support. This approach would enhance international exchange, increase the influence of selected institutions in relevant fields, and improve the overall effectiveness of “foreign-related rule of law talent” cultivation efforts. Second, it emphasizes the importance of defining the training targets by allowing selected institutions to establish specialized “Foreign-related Master of Law” programs, thereby ensuring a more structured and efficient training process. Third, the paper suggests enhancing training methods to increase the efficiency of talent development, including restructuring core subjects and integrating study-abroad programs to attract more international students. Finally, the paper recommends formalizing these improvements into a cohesive system, while avoiding linking this educational process to national qualification exams.
