Abstract:

The specification and guidance of laws and regulations is indispensable to the development and
prosperity of publication under the condition of market economy, which is determined not only by the attributes
and functions of publication but also by the essence and the character of laws. The France’s guidance of laws
and regulations for publication value is different from China’s in values, legislative levels, law enforcement and
law abiding environment. What’s more, the west’s experience is worth for China to learn. China can achieve
effective guidance of laws and regulations for publication value and promote the healthy development and
prosperity of Chinese publishing through four channels: broadening the range of punishment and improving the
self-regulated degree of publication, quickening special legislation and perfecting the law guidance system,
deepening the supervision efforts and clarifying the enforcement collaboration network and strengthening
education training and creating good law abiding environment.
