Context,Function Orientation and Research Prospect:Coupling Analysis of Environmental Policy and Environmental Law
By combing the historical experience of China's environmental policy and the law of environmen-tal law enactment since 1973,it is found that environmental policy can provide the corresponding guidance and basis for the enactment of environmental law in the absence of environmental law or when environmental law lags behind social development needs and policy reform is urgently needed.Therefore,the relationship between en-vironmental policy and environmental law is a spiraling evolution process.In the course of nearly 50 years of practice and exploration,such problems as insufficient blending degree and fuzzy coupling boundary can still be found in the interweaving and coupling of environmental policy and environmental law.In order to solve this coupling problem and give better play to the advantages of the two,it is necessary to accurately define the func-tions and positioning of environmental policies and environmental laws,grasp the two keys of coordination and integration,and shape the appropriate coupling point,coupling degree and coupling mode,thus promoting the interconnection and rational transformation of environmental policies and environmental laws.
